Artificial Life Created

[alextemplet]

By "old habitats dying out" I presume you are referring to homo sapiens invading and killing off life which happens to get in our way?

No, I am referring to climate change and the like (the sun eventually dying out, for example) making a habitat inhospitable for our species. Unless we can come up with some kind of technology to either save the sun or make an otherwise barren habitat hospitable.

I think the lifespan of species might have been a little overstated there. Perhaps you were referring to phyla... or dominant body-types or something. Still, point well taken... I think...

surely artificial life--artificially made, won't last.

We hope so but there's really no way to be sure.

Again, it's artificially "put together" kinda like Frankensteins monster, but it's made from other organisms. We haven't "created" an organism.

Sounds like reviving a zombie that will exterminate everything later... I used to watch one of its contemporaries. ^-^
