Genetic Engineering: Frankenstein or Einstein?
1. Take some infinitesimally small one-dimensional vibrating strings and glue them together with the color force to form quarks.
2. Combine quarks to form protons and neutrons.
3. Mix in some electrons and gluons, W+, W- and Z0 particles to form atoms.
3a. Hydrogen (H) = 1 proton, 1 electron
3b. Carbon (C) = 6 protons, 6 neutrons, 6 electrons
3c. Nitrogen (N) = 7 protons, 7 neutrons, 7 electrons
3d. Oxygen (O) = 8 protons, 8 neutrons, 8 electrons
4. Combine atoms to form adenine (C5H5N5), cytosine (C4H5N3O), guanine (N5H4O), thymine (C5H6N2O2) and uracil (C4H4N2O2) molecules.
5. Combine atoms and base molecules from step 4 to form nucleotides consisting of a sugar, a phosphate and a base molecule.
6. Chain together nucleotides from step 5 to form DNA and RNA molecules in such a fashion that each sequence of 3 base molecules (a codon) identifies an amino acid.
7. Sequence the codons in the DNA molecule to form genes such that the amino acids manufactured from each gene assemble to form a protein.
8. Assemble a structure that will transcribe and translate protein sequences in a strictly time-controlled fashion to form organic structures.
9. Let the so-called "scientists" play God and meddle with this process and expect to lead a Frankenstein-free existence. Honestly, the world would be a better place without the scientists' ridiculous posturing.
