Could Man Create Life?

[CptBork]

By doing that we are making a machine using natures technology.
It works, but we don't really understand how it works.
Maybe using machines we make ourselves, which self replicated, we could create planets ready for us to move onto. Complete with railways, houses, fields of crops etc.

All other things being equal in terms of space travel technology, it would be a zillion times easier to get a bunch of machine-based life-forms out to nearby solar systems than it would be to do the same thing with humans. And what's wrong with copying nature? If we didn't have natural examples to observe of things that can be done with the laws of physics, chemistry and biology that we have, we wouldn't know a dang thing about anything that's actually going on. Science wouldn't even exist.

Heck! That's no fun! How pointless it would be for us to develop a replicate of us and spread it all over the universe while we over-crowd our Earth and go into decline and collapse! We need to develop the ability to build space colonies and colonize the universe ourselves.

If we had focussed and were even now to focusing on that objective, we could in time achieve it as I show in "The Last Civilization," but we are now to ideologically divided and burdened with ideological goals that are primitive and self-defeating (such as "The Return of Christ," "the American Dream" or of the "missing Mahdi," Buddha, a Marxist "communal world," etc. We need to replace them with one that is far more advanced. We need that more than anything else. . .
