*Artificial life?*
Question: What is the Vedic comment on recent news report about artificial life?
Answer: Let me quote Caltech biologist and Nobel laureate David Baltimore, who has said that Venter has "overplayed the importance" of his results; he
"has not created life, only mimicked it."
Let’s see what he actually did:

prapadyante 'nya-devatah
