FALSE ASSUMPTION. “The claim that chromosomes just represent a code script is wrong as chromosomes contain DNA sequences as well as proteins and RNA molecules. In fact, the amounts of proteins and RNAs are much higher than in DNA.” http://europepmc.org/articles/PMC3512409/ View in LinkedIn

ISSUE OF ERRORS. “As within this text, errors cannot generate new content-loaded sequences, but living organisms that are competent in generating correct sequences are generators, senders, receivers and interpreters of natural languages or codes.” http://europepmc.org/articles/PMC3512409/ View in LinkedIn

LEAPING BOUNDS. “As computers become more prevalent, more complex, and more highly interconnected, we suspect that so will computer viruses. Eventually it is likely that a computer virus will be created with 'a robust capacity to evolve, that will progress far beyond its initial form.” https://lnkd.in/dMvAeqz View in LinkedIn

ARTIFICIAL EVOLUTION. “Human-induced characteristics of computer viruses are not terribly interesting. However, computer viruses that do mutate without human input are an entirely different story. This is the artificial life. Autonomously mutating computer code is subject to artificial evolution, and can potentially evolve very quickly.” https://lnkd.in/dhEdXSq View in LinkedIn

THE QUESTION. “If we ever make contact with life from other planets, will our science of biology help us understand it?" https://lnkd.in/dMvAeqz View in LinkedIn

NEW LIFE FORMS. “Within the next century we will likely witness the introduction on earth of living organisms originally designed in large part by humans, but with the capability to reproduce and evolve just as- natural organisms do.” https://lnkd.in/dMvAeqz View in LinkedIn

ARTIFICIAL CAMBRIAN EXPLOSION. “The advent of artificial life will be the most significant historical event since the emergence of human beings. The impact on humanity and the biosphere could be enormous, larger than the industrial revolution, nuclear weapons, or environmental pollution.” https://lnkd.in/dMvAeqz View in LinkedIn
