Atheists, Can science make anything that can procreate?

Question

God has made every living thing with the power and ability to procreate. It does not need any manufacturing unit or plant to create more of its species. Can science ever make such a thing, that can procreate? Like a computer giving birth to a kid computer? Like a bus giving birth to a small bus? If you are not foolish enough, you can understand the limitation in man's abilities with this example. You can not make a single thing that can procreate. You can only alter natural resources, but can not make a new product without depending on this nature, that can procreate. This is the difference between worm like humans and the Almighty.

Answer 1

Yes, i believe that there have been experiments done in which simple life has been written from scratch. Even if i'm mistaken, it won't be long until we have the DNA sequencing down to an art form and start making custom organisms.

You dont like it? Well suck it.

Humans can do anything they d**n well please, god or no god.

Answer 2

Cloning! **** YEAH! Gonna take some cells, grow an army and kick some ***! I bet my army of clones can make more by bonking some random chicks. Hmm.....TO THE LAB! FOR SCIENCE!

Answer 3

If a bus gave birth to a bus I would consider the maternal bus God. That about sums up the logicality of your belief in God.

Answer 4

Yes.

Answer 5

Why is procreation relevant?

I'm fine with you calling youself a worm, but I am not a worm. I am a human being and I have dignity...I won't cower before a creature you can't prove exists, and live my life on the terms of that creature.  

Answer 6

So what?  The fact that humans can't make things that procreate doesn't prove that only a god can do so.  We aren't all that bright, really.  It took most of human existence to come up with the written word.  Give it some time and we might be able to make things that procreate.  If not, I still don't see why you need a God to explain reproducing organisms.

Answer 7

Im sure we will be able to do those things in the near future. We are already creating LIVE CELLS from scratch.

Answer 8

Another lame god of the gaps argument. The gaps are getting smaller...smaller...

Answer 9

sea monkeys...

Answer 10

Yes, it can.

My wife was having difficulty keeping her 2nd child - suffering multiple miscarriages.  She used the internet - which was invented by humans - and found a scientist - who learned from humans - who had invented a technique for helping women keep their babies.  

As it turns out, not all humans were intelligently designed to procreate.  Some women - when fertilized by some men - do not have biologies that correctly realize that they are pregnant, and instead think that the thing inside is something to void, and so they miscarriage.  

What the scientist did was take my blood, and turn it into an injectable antidote for my wife with more science invented by humans, so that her body wouldn't misinterpret the situation, and that the egg I fertilized should be allowed to stay.

Needless to say, the science that was invented by Dr. Beer of the University of Chicago allowed us to procreate, because there really is no such thing as intelligent design.

Without Dr. Beer, people might otherwise say "God's will," and hug each other and pray or do something else that won't help them have their baby.  Stupid stupid people.

ADD:  DRINK to the thumbs down fairy!  It's late, but getting razzed for this takes the cake.  I need a drink.

Answer 11

Uneducated fundie make my flesh crawl.

Answer 12

Yes, lets just say goddidit because we can't do it for the moment. That makes oh so much sense.

What a cop-out.

Answer 13

This is your complete assumption based on a lack of information.  Current research has created synthetic life forms and has shown how various steps, like forming membranes, are completely natural processes.  To simply declare that since we have not yet replicated the entire process then we never will, is like saying that we will never land on the moon or any other planet.  It is simply a baseless assertion with no understanding of the current state of information and research.

Edit:

The links below are just a small summary of where we are at with abiogenesis and creating life.

Answer 14

Can God explain how leprosy is transmitted? Is there some reason he would just say to put them in colonies apart from everyone to let them die like, well, lepers?

Answer 15

What a weak argument and your point is moot from the start.  The premise of your argument assumes there is a god from the get go.  Since I reject your argument due to the lack of evidence you have set forth for it the rest of your logic is faulty.

Answer 16

Computer viruses can procreate effectively. AIs can create other, more complex AIs.

In a few years we'll be making live animals from pre-existing data with no genetic samples. ^^ So no, we can, but that's really just the upper 5% of humanity. The lower 95% is kinda stupid and is better off watching Jerry Springer.

Answer 17

Science begins with things (e.g. scratch) which already exist and manipulates life that already exists, so nothing it does comes even into the ball-park of being impressive.  

Answer 18

There have been infertile women who have given birth thanks to science.  There have been infertile men who have fathered a child thanks to science.  I would say man can make things that procreate.  Try again.  You're getting closer.  

Answer 19

Absolutely! You don't think those bananas you eat are made naturally do you? No, they are cultivated and genetically modified by *people* in order to achieve it's present normal form and color.

Plantain(natural) =\ Banana(cultivated)

--------------------------------------...

They are not the same. Yet they both still procreate.

Seems as if the so called "Atheists Nightmare" is really the "Christian Nightmare".

Answer 20

Computer viruses are the most obvious example. They definitely exist.

Oh, and check out this self-replicating robot: http://www.news.cornell.edu/stories/may0... we're getting there...

Answer 21

We create germs for bio warfare, I would think that may count

Answer 22

You obviously don't understand what science is. Science consists of the methods we use to understand how the universe around us works. Science is also the body of knowledge we've amassed about the physical world around us.

And actually you're wrong. Robots have been created that are programmed to put together other robots.

And the power to procreate can be credited to evolution. Without procreation, species could not continue to exist and evolve. You can believe in God if you wish, but he/she/they/it has no direct link to procreation.

Answer 23

We can clone just about any species including humans.  These clones are capable of reproduction.  I am certain in the future cloning will be entirely possible without a living surrogate host and we could grow creatures in a laboratory environment.

The entire objection to cloning as that "man is playing god".  If that is the case I would surmise your god is not as omnipotent as you claim.

Answer 24

:/ sigh you tried.

Answer 25

Atheists do not believe in gods of any description.

It is in the direction of scientists that you should be pointing your science questions.

There is no god, never was, never will be. there is truth, which is, the only thing that can be believed in.

Science of course deals in facts and truths, whereas religion is just myth.

If you think living a life according to a myth is a good thing, then so be it, but most of us rely on our truths to come from years of accumulated study by the most brilliant minds that ever lived and not from the shouty man on a Sunday afternoon with his one old book of fiction and an interest only in fattening his wallet and enlightening yours.

Answer 26

to that atheist girl , although the 5 cliches you used, did sound cool and as though it really meant something, you were faulty in the premise that his question would imply the existence of God within itself . This is not true, and ill prove it easily .

whether there is a God or not " Can science make anything that can procreate? " and the answer is no (obviously) , because this process is so complex that scientists cannot even create it, although pure chance can according to your theories  .
