...scientists say they are now working on a way to retrieve the stored data.



I just developed a device to perform that very task. Let's see what it says:

*DRINK*MORE*OVELTINE*

Intriguing, but what could it mean?

Great.

So when the bacteria divide, are they violating copyright laws, or patents?

Cheers!

Up to 25 posts and no one has commented on Intelligent Design and the ability of DNA to store and pass on complex information....

Well, well, well, isn't this little technological advance interesting. Don't you hate it when people get caught with their presumptions down?

Well, this thread died after only 26 posts. Yet, the Kansas Evo/science thread lives on. I wonder why this didn't draw more attention?
Curious minds would like to know how this impacts the concept of Intelligent Design vs. Creation vs. random evolution in the discussion.
