Genesis 2.0, the creation of synthetic life

Synthetic life approaches creation from the bottom up.  It starts with the dust and works toward life.  It is probably true that if life is not found on Mars or some near space object in the next few years, it will be found in the laboratories here on Earth. 


Imagine what a new creation would mean to theology.  From that moment on in creation we would not be alone.  Granted that a very basic life form is not the equal of a man, but does anyone doubt that creating that life form is a long way toward something with an intelligence. 


I believe that the creation of synthetic life is one of the great milestones of all our history.
