DNA is the book for biological life. A book requires an author. The bible reveals the author to be God(Father, Jesus, Holy Spirit). This God is also completely holy and perfect. Sadly we sin everyday against God(Romans 5:8). The penalty for sin is Hell(Revelation 21:8). Thankfully the bible also says that God is rich in mercy and grace. That is why He sent His son to die on a cross to save us from our sin. You and I broke God's law but Jesus paid our fine. Then Jesus rose from the dead, 3 days later, thus defeating death.
People already engineer bacteria that does various things so its no longer a question of how close are we, its more of a question of how far we can take it.
Actually we use fragments of DNA of some other(s) species, the video is talking about something brand new that isn't anywhere and is totally artificial
When talking about DNA it’s important to remember that it contains a very specific sequence of nucleotides. The specific sequence is what gives DNA it’s value. To say it another way, DNA is 100% useless without this specific sequence. So it doesn’t matter how much physical DNA you have. What matters is the specific sequence(genetic code). It is this nucleotide arrangement that allows organisms to grow, function, and reproduce. A cell cannot even divide without this specific sequence. When scientists create DNA in the lab they will have to make sure that ALL the nucleotides are in the correct order. Of course a supercomputer will be required to do this. When you think about it cells are like supercomputers. After all, a cell must actuality store, copy, and transmit vital genetic information. Because the genetic code is so important, the cell goes to great lengths to insure genome stability. The cell has many error correcting systems. These systems are very sophisticated and scientists are still trying understand how they work. During cell division, the cell tries to rightly make a copy of the entire genome just like scribes try to faithfully copy a text. However, just as scribes are not perfect, neither is the cell. Sometimes mutations(errors) slip in. Throughout history cancer(a genetic mutation) has ravished humans and it still does so today. Mutations are the cause of hundreds of diseases and disorders and as time goes on, mutations impose an increasingly heavy 'genetic burden' on a species. In the future scientists may invent nanotechnology. With this new technology we could repair the genome directly. We could even stomp out cancer. After all, organisms that are less prone to cancer are the ones who repair their DNA the best. After all this we can conclude that DNA is the program of biological life. However programs always require a brilliant programmer. There are no known cases of programs arising from something other than a mind. And DNA is a millions times more complex than any man-made technology. So where did the information system of life come from? The bible has the answer. The bible makes it clear that God(Father, Jesus, Holy Spirit) created ALL biological life in 6 days. All the credit goes to God.
@@micahhenley589 Aaah, Intelligent Design...the Bullshit never stops, does it? If ID we're so obvious...why do basically all biologists reject it? Shouldn't they know best? Well, anyway. First of all, you don't need a Supercomputer to synthesize DNA, goes to show what you know though. Why would an omnipotent being be so incompetent at "coding" humans? There are countless common genetic conditions that could habe easily been avoided with a better "code". Why are some genes still located in the mitochondria, where they are much more exposed to free radicals and not safely tucked away in the nucleus? Why does the Genetic Code of all animals contain traces of retroviruses which prove its evolutionary history beyond the shadow of a doubt? Go ahead, research endogenous retroviruses.

Micah Henley Yes, there is no program without a programmer, and He not only built us, but also have us a sole. And a sole is what makes us Human. PS: I’m a Muslim.
He says "all you have to do is to be able to write a new genome. One that nature hasn't created." But nature created us, and we are writing the new genome. So essentially nature is still the writer of the new genome. For if it hadn't been for nature. The new genome would have never come to be.
actually i find it annoying like seriously it just wasting my time, they only care about making 10 minute long videos meanwhile you can make it 2-4 like minutes, check "2 minutes paper" channel, they are straight to the point unlike this one. maybe 10 minute video has bigger ad revenue so yeah
What if I told you.... a higher intelligent life force traveled the cosmos until they found the perfect planet and then planted life on earth so that they could one day use us as slaves and test to see how we evolve into what we are now
There is already research on plastic eating bacteria, its just that its still very basic level and what little success we have takes dozens of years to eat one plastic bottle. So our production rate far exceeds their eating rate atm. Just in case it was genuine question and not sarcasm haha
you defenitally can, but its probably not a good idea unless your gonna be really specific and smart about what plastics and how its deployed, or water pipes or other plastic structures might just start breaking down out of nowhere
I'm not really understanding this. So are they saying scientists regularly create living cells from raw chemicals? Wouldn't that be huge? Wouldn't it mean we know exactly how life arose and can replicate it?
The problem with synthetic DNA is that it's not folded properly to express the desired "active" segment of code. (Couldn't the remaining 40%, as they said in the video, be the part of the code that describes the "origami" folding)
When I read the title "Harnessing Synthetic Life?" I envisioned a robotic horse and thought, "Regular horses are great. Why not put a harness on a real horse."
This video is really odd. "How close are we to harnessing synthetic life?" Um... we're doing it now. I routinely throw synthesized DNA into cells to generate everything from novel compounds to proteins. This is by definition synthetic life. There isn't a whole lot of information in this video on what synthetic biology currently looks like. Which is a shame because we're doing really interesting science right now that is already being applied in the real world.
I know, right? Also the synthesis of an already existing genome de novo is not a bottom-up approach for synthetic life forms... The bottom up approach would be to design a completely new minimal genome and putting it into an artificial cell.
I believe I saw a video about that a few weeks ago but hey, if you have some interesting stuff to share why don't you contact them and see if they'll make a video about it (or make one yourself). Can you even share the results if your research? Would the company you work for (unless it's your company) be OK with you sharing the results of research they spent a lot of money on? Anyways, it's a very current and interesting field and more people working on it share their thoughts the better for everyone.
FUVK YEA... CAT GIRLS What we need to do is prevent our telomeres from shortening... We do that and we are partially imortal... Why is no one working on this?
The problem with telomerase is due to coping of the gene sequence, it's prone to have a miss-copy resulting in a cancer (wich of course can be treated normally, or as said in vide with help of genetic engineering, or even trying to bust number of proteins that lower the risk of a bad copy). Another problem is the fact that some cells (I think it was brain and skeletal ones) cell ageing occurs even with normal telomeres length, dou to other factors
@@alternativewalls4988 hmm What i was thinking is if we pull that off we stop aging and the cancer part is slowly solving itself atm Is there any solution to it though... Because its not like they are gonna invent some anti aging thing any time soon
Now u see these geniuses laying the foundation, and tomorrow some kid will be born at the right place at the right time and he'll start a company and take advantage of the brilliant work that has been done and the media will brand him a Savior.
Thank you seeker, thank you for speaking the truth and getting the estimated times right, not like some close minded people who do not believe in the law of exponentially and think this stuff is hundreds of years away
Actually, biotechnology is here. Doctors tell bacteria to make human hormones and they give those hormonal injections to patients who have some disease because of which they produce fewer hormones. Not only this, we use biotechnology in other places too. Though they are not creating synthetic life and editing existing life, it is awesome.
@Hopi Ng Your use of the phrase "accidental boom" reveals that you have little to no understanding of cosmology. You should look into it more deeply, it might help you get over this god nonsense.
They used terms like created, designed, and technology, yet completely gloss over it. It should tell you something that scientists are taking this long just to reverse engineer DNA. It was bought about through a directed process, directed by intelligence. Obviously far more intelligent than we are. But people reject it because of the morality that goes along with it. Truth is truth...God exist, Jesus our salvation. The evidence is everywhere!! God bless!!

*_Then whole world got drastically Changed if DNA will be next HTML we can't imagine how and what Will happen...._* _and what about programmers what they learn biology or else own programming knowledge_ *_You seeker create superb remarkable content.. Thanks so much_*
This makes for a new field in theory and bio-engineering - If you wanted to be an X-Man with the ability to survive a fall from the top of a building, you'd want to first make the organism build a new defensive skin to protect any exposed nerves and organs, then either grow new ones or move the old ones back to where they belonged... This alone would change the nature of our skin. It also raises the very real question: How would you "feel" afterwards? Better? Would it enable you to really deal with pressure and internal feelings of self-health? How would your emotional state be as a whole? A LOT of a person's outlook has to do with their own feelings of invulnerability. It has consequences for a fully developed hybrid organism too, when does a person stop being a person with "modifications" and start being someone's intellectual property?

Meat without killing those cute animals
@@hamstercouture that's great i wish i could just buy it from a local store in some time, at okay ish price
It is not meat and we will not eat artificially manipulated meals. We will continue to kill and eat animals, and there is nothing you vegans can do about it. Just get use to it already. The laws on man munipulated foods and GMO foods will easily get turned over. Cute or not, you cant stop humans from killimg and eating. We dont want lab food
@@GarudaLegends how do you define meat then?, if its molecular composition is the same as natural meat. Then it's meat, it doesn't matter how it was created.
@@martiddy its like calling a veggie patty the same thing as meat
@@bcthegamer3039 how do i have mental problems. The human body requires meat pruducts. Humans have and will always be omnivores. Only mentally ill ppl believe humans are herbivores. News flash, vegetarians kill the plants they eat. I dont see you calling them mentally ill

When talking about DNA it’s important to remember that it contains a very specific sequence of nucleotides. The specific sequence is what gives DNA it’s value. To say it another way, DNA is 100% useless without this specific sequence.
So it doesn’t matter how much physical DNA you have. What matters is the specific sequence(genetic code). It is this nucleotide arrangement that allows organisms to grow, function, and reproduce. A cell cannot even divide without this specific sequence.
When scientists create DNA in the lab they will have to make sure that ALL the nucleotides are in the correct order. Of course a supercomputer will be required to do this. When you think about it cells are like supercomputers. After all, a cell must actuality store, copy, and transmit vital genetic information. Because the genetic code is so important, the cell goes to great lengths to insure genome stability. The cell has many error correcting systems. These systems are very sophisticated and scientists are still trying understand how they work.
During cell division, the cell tries to rightly make a copy of the entire genome just like scribes try to faithfully copy a text.
However, just as scribes are not perfect, neither is the cell. Sometimes mutations(errors) slip in. Throughout history cancer(a genetic mutation) has ravished humans and it still does so today. Mutations are the cause of hundreds of diseases and disorders and as time goes on, mutations impose an increasingly heavy 'genetic burden' on a species. In the future scientists may invent nanotechnology. With this new technology we could repair the genome directly. We could even stomp out cancer. After all, organisms that are less prone to cancer are the ones who repair their DNA the best.
After all this we can conclude that DNA is the program of biological life. However programs always require a brilliant programmer. There are no known cases of programs arising from something other than a mind. And DNA is a millions times more complex than any man-made technology. So where did the information system of life come from? The bible has the answer. The bible makes it clear that God(Father, Jesus, Holy Spirit) created ALL biological life in 6 days. All the credit goes to God.
Micah Henley Yes, there is no program without a programmer, and He not only built us, but also have us a sole. And a sole is what makes us Human. PS: I’m a Muslim.

He says "all you have to do is to be able to write a new genome. One that nature hasn't created." But nature created us, and we are writing the new genome. So essentially nature is still the writer of the new genome. For if it hadn't been for nature. The new genome would have never come to be.
So basically, we’ll be able to create dinosaurs from scratch
these "How Close Are We" video's are great. Keep it up
actually i find it annoying like seriously it just wasting my time, they only care about making 10 minute long videos meanwhile you can make it 2-4 like minutes, check "2 minutes paper" channel, they are straight to the point unlike this one.
maybe 10 minute video has bigger ad revenue so yeah
What if I told you, we already are an experiment of synthetic life?
Axel Official what if i told you didn’t chuck a shit this morning
What if I told you.... a higher intelligent life force traveled the cosmos until they found the perfect planet and then planted life on earth so that they could one day use us as slaves and test to see how we evolve into what we are now
@Alexander Markland what if I told you, I am god as well
@Alexander Markland we're all God;)
We were created in laboratory by the Elohim.
This is what artificial intelligence needs to create itself in biological form. This is how we evolve.
Did anybody notice that in every"hoe close are we" the estimate is always 10 to 15 years?
They always say its gonna happen even if its very unrealistic
They need to make content
Those are based on current prediction models based on today's factors. In the future those factors can change and they add another 5-15 years.

"Life is a technology... A technology we didn't create" - I haven't wheezed so hard since forever.
Could we modify marine animals' gut bacteria so they can digest plastic?
There is already research on plastic eating bacteria, its just that its still very basic level and what little success we have takes dozens of years to eat one plastic bottle. So our production rate far exceeds their eating rate atm. Just in case it was genuine question and not sarcasm haha
you defenitally can, but its probably not a good idea unless your gonna be really specific and smart about what plastics and how its deployed, or water pipes or other plastic structures might just start breaking down out of nowhere
I'm not really understanding this. So are they saying scientists regularly create living cells from raw chemicals? Wouldn't that be huge? Wouldn't it mean we know exactly how life arose and can replicate it?
This channel is turning me into a know it all
This channel has been known to push fake science. I would not go that far
@@GarudaLegends what fake science did they push? I occasionally watch their videos
The problem with synthetic DNA is that it's not folded properly to express the desired "active" segment of code. (Couldn't the remaining 40%, as they said in the video, be the part of the code that describes the "origami" folding)
When I read the title "Harnessing Synthetic Life?" I envisioned a robotic horse and thought, "Regular horses are great. Why not put a harness on a real horse."
M'lah p'tah.
If AI can already grow its own synapse, why don't we have it yet.
Starting to sound like altered carbon here. It's a show on netflix.
They already 3D printed a functioning human bladder and lungs using biochemistry.. this is huge for organs transplant patients
This video is really odd. "How close are we to harnessing synthetic life?" Um... we're doing it now. I routinely throw synthesized DNA into cells to generate everything from novel compounds to proteins. This is by definition synthetic life. There isn't a whole lot of information in this video on what synthetic biology currently looks like. Which is a shame because we're doing really interesting science right now that is already being applied in the real world.
I know, right? Also the synthesis of an already existing genome de novo is not a bottom-up approach for synthetic life forms... The bottom up approach would be to design a completely new minimal genome and putting it into an artificial cell.
I believe I saw a video about that a few weeks ago but hey, if you have some interesting stuff to share why don't you contact them and see if they'll make a video about it (or make one yourself). Can you even share the results if your research? Would the company you work for (unless it's your company) be OK with you sharing the results of research they spent a lot of money on? Anyways, it's a very current and interesting field and more people working on it share their thoughts the better for everyone.

What we need to do is prevent our telomeres from shortening... We do that and we are partially imortal... Why is no one working on this?
They're already working with that
The problem with telomerase is due to coping of the gene sequence, it's prone to have a miss-copy resulting in a cancer (wich of course can be treated normally, or as said in vide with help of genetic engineering, or even trying to bust number of proteins that lower the risk of a bad copy). Another problem is the fact that some cells (I think it was brain and skeletal ones) cell ageing occurs even with normal telomeres length, dou to other factors
@@alternativewalls4988 hmm
What i was thinking is if we pull that off we stop aging and the cancer part is slowly solving itself atm
Is there any solution to it though... Because its not like they are gonna invent some anti aging thing any time soon
Look up Aubrey DeGrey. That's like his main study.
@@alternativewalls4988 not if you introduce nanobots to help monitor and make final changes in the sequence along the way.
Is about modifications at DNA and creating new codes, but not a creating life, there is a huge difference.

Actually, biotechnology is here. Doctors tell bacteria to make human hormones and they give those hormonal injections to patients who have some disease because of which they produce fewer hormones. Not only this, we use biotechnology in other places too. Though they are not creating synthetic life and editing existing life, it is awesome.

They used terms like created, designed, and technology, yet completely gloss over it. It should tell you something that scientists are taking this long just to reverse engineer DNA. It was bought about through a directed process, directed by intelligence. Obviously far more intelligent than we are. But people reject it because of the morality that goes along with it. Truth is truth...God exist, Jesus our salvation. The evidence is everywhere!! God bless!!

With some of the upcoming Technologies...we actually might not die anymore. Not from aging at least.
This makes for a new field in theory and bio-engineering - If you wanted to be an X-Man with the ability to survive a fall from the top of a building, you'd want to first make the organism build a new defensive skin to protect any exposed nerves and organs, then either grow new ones or move the old ones back to where they belonged... This alone would change the nature of our skin. It also raises the very real question: How would you "feel" afterwards? Better? Would it enable you to really deal with pressure and internal feelings of self-health? How would your emotional state be as a whole? A LOT of a person's outlook has to do with their own feelings of invulnerability.
It has consequences for a fully developed hybrid organism too, when does a person stop being a person with "modifications" and start being someone's intellectual property?
Will this effect adaptability of our body? Like i have heard that moisturizing cream affect natural moisturizing condition of skin.
