EvoGrid: Philosophical Implications Will biologists (one day) declare these synthetic biological environments “worthy of study as a living system”? Would an EvoGrid and harnessing the power of evolution become a design tool for Humanity in the 21 st Century? Would it become a mechanism for life’s expanded Design into the Solar System or for the survival and extension of life on Earth? How does a successful origin of life simulation affect our sense of God, our Design in the Universe and the future of life?

New Book: Divine Action and Natural Selection Damer: The God Detector Upcoming book (launch October 27 th , 2008)

Final Thought (Only at the very beginning of this thinking)
