Thusfar I'm agreeing with the heathens. As per Bingo's explication, I think the method isn't the important part.

Really?

It's something humans are very close to being able to do themselves.

The implications have ramifications.

Would they be playing God, emulating God or would they be God or at least God's remote control?

If God is implicit in the process surely actuating the process has very interesting religious considerations?

Reminds me of when Kirk Cameron said the banana was proof there is a god. When it was pointed out to him that the banana is a highly modified, and selectively bred mutation that would not exist except for man's influence, he responded with "well, that proves God gave us those tools."

I think Kirk's answer is fine. The important part IS that God was the force that determined that we would be.
