Amazing how far the technology has advanced since the way back when. Before you is a fairly lengthy interview where we walk through Venter’s sequencing facility, watch him gesticulate about scientific progress and how he wants to replace humans with robots arms and metabolize coal with methane flatulent bacteria, all the while assuring whoever needs assuring in these matters he is not trying to play god–”I don’t play mythological characters.” Instead, he will use his knowledge to improve mankind. Also, Venter and Dawkins predict alien life will be Darwinian. Typical dorks.
