A: Recent reports indicate that a research team has coaxed a bacterium to incorporate a bit of foreign language into its DNA. Though this foreign word means nothing to the bacterium as yet, writing a meaningful instruction using the two new letters is the next step. Once that hurdle is overcome, genetic engineers may rewire microbes to build biological products like pharmaceuticals and biofuels. In so doing they are capitalizing on God's great biological design seen in all life on earth. But does this engineering demonstrate life from non-life? No, this research illustrates quite the contrary. Even if scientists were to invent a new genetic code and then manage to create synthetic analogues for all of life's processes, would that demonstrate abiogenesis? No it would not, because information would still be supplied, not randomly have come into existence on its own as molecules-to-man evolution would demand.
