Some refer to it as synthetic biology, or synthetic life forms. In fact, there is much moral debate running on about it in the scientific world at this moment.
Synthetic DNA on the brink of creating new life forms
And that article is over 6 months old.

Nice attempt to cover yourself. You basically claim you are GOD dude, you think you are perfect... have no bias - never admit when you are wrong - everyone else is delusional. You can crate life. You are the universe- You're really an ill human being. I feel sorry for you. It's like picking on cripples to talk to you.
I am done with this conversation - I only stepped in because you are abusing others as usual.
It has been 50 years since scientists first created DNA in a test tube, stitching ordinary chemical ingredients together to make life's most extraordinary molecule. Until recently, however, even the most sophisticated laboratories could make only small snippets of DNA -- an extra gene or two to be inserted into corn plants, for example, to help the plants ward off insects or tolerate drought.
Now researchers are poised to cross a dramatic barrier: the creation of life forms driven by completely artificial DNA.
Scientists in Maryland have already built the world's first entirely handcrafted chromosome -- a large looping strand of DNA made from scratch in a laboratory, containing all the instructions a microbe needs to live and reproduce.

Also consider that your very real and - obvious to everyone but yourself- delusion is by its very nature - a delusion of your own POWER.
That makes it impossible to demonstrate it to you. DUH - if you were capable of seeing it you would not be delusional. You need a professional.
Noun 1. delusions of grandeur - a delusion (common in paranoia) that you are much greater and more powerful and influential than you really are
delusion, psychotic belief - (psychology) an erroneous belief that is held in the face of evidence to the contrary
megalomania - a psychological state characterized by delusions of grandeur

FINAL POST : thanks for proving it once and for all.
Here's the proof. You claimed you could create an animal NOW. Literally you said "I can create an animal"

We're all human and we're all sentient and able to create technology.
The universe creates life through evolution. The universe IS alive. I, in turn, being a sentient being am able to harness and understand the ways of the universe, and in effect understand how to create life. You can also do these things. It is not limited to myself.
We were having a discussion about my dog inheriting my moral values and somehow he wanted to turn me into God and make me defend the fact that I created my dog's teeth and breed, (You just tried to turn me into God again here)
Yes, I can create life, I plan on having a few children myself.

Yes, sir. Dogs have the morality that I endow them with.
My dog is a direct result of me and what I have taught it or failed to teach it.
My dog has as much morality as I do and is as much of an effect of its environment as I am.

Darwin is a fool. Every animal including Humans rely solely on instinctual survival techniques within and sometimes without a society and civilization of entities and its structure. My dog has as much morality as I do and is as much of an effect of its environment as I am.

You're having trouble following the convo again. We were talking about morality. Not my dog's biological evolution.

Sure, I could create an animal. It's scientifically feasible. Catch up man, it's the 21st century. The evolution of the planet Earth and the species of dog along with other un-named and currently unknown events caused my dog to be the way that it is.
that article says things like "poised too" not that they have created life - its a pipe dream. A whole team of experts working years has assembled one single chromosome. WHO are YOU supposed to be you can do better than all of them huh?
You claimed you could do it now and not a chromosome an entire new species of animal no less. That is text book "delusons of grandeur"
It makes sense to sane people dude. People that are delusional by definition cant see their own delusion remember that later when it come to a head one day - we tried to tell you.
Say anything you want I'm not reading this anymore. You've drug me down to your level enough. BYE

Schroedinger's Cat.
In the experiment, the investigator (read scientist), must have faith that the cat is indeed in the box, BECAUSE, if he opens the box and observes the cat, it dies and the experiment is a failure and nothing has been proven. so for the experiment to work and the science proven, faith in the cat's existence must be maintained without seeing it.
Before the observer opens the box, the cat's fate is tied to the wave function of the atom, which is itself in a superposition of decayed and undecayed states. Thus, said Schroedinger, the cat must itself be in a superposition of dead and alive states before the observer opens the box, ``observes'' the cat, and ``collapses'' it's wave function.
