There is no leaving religion out of science because the two are so deeply intertwined in our minds...Science is the study of the physical as religion is the study of the non-physical. I'm not trying to start a flamewar, just to show a different side of the coin here. To me this isn't nearly as bad as what the Christian Right make it out to be, but it certainly IS scary. Who says that a few scientists won't master the fundamentals enough to create viable life? And life doesn't always mean large organisms. Viruses can easily be created, or tailor made if we know enough. But as great good can be done with this knowledge as well. We humans as a race should learn caution with what we tamper with...But not stop altogether.
