Most likely in our lifetime if you are as young as me. How will this effect the Christian religion? Christians please?

A remarkably uneducated set of earlier responses to this. It will indeed happen, and it could well be in your lifetime. But it need not, and probably will not, have much effect on Christianity or any other religion. Religions exist for many reasons other than to try to explain the origin of life. For details, see:

Just to give Banana some back-up, virii (viruses for those of you who can't deal with Latin) are nothing more than a bit of RNA stuck inside a protein. They lack the ability to reproduce themselves unless they are able to trick a cell into replicating them (by sticking their own RNA into the replication machinery) or if they happen to bump into a complimentary bit of nucleic acid and a ribosome of sort and make another virus. Scientists can easily make virii that can behave in this way and infect bacteria. Helping the virii find a means of replicatin itself or fusing with other virii or biological molecules in order to "become" a self-replicating bacteria is working a little bit but there is more research to be done. This is the basis of creating life from non-living organic matter. He is right in science being close.

Even the clone need living things to be created. Supposedly will it come in form of artificial intellegence or flesh and soul?
Well, the copernicus and evolution theory did shake our believe back then, but we're able to manage it.

Dontcha just love imbeciles who answer with absolutes like, "cannot" or "impossible" to questions like this.
5000 years ago, it was impossible to cross the ocean.
3000 years ago, it was impossible to transplant a heart
1000 years ago, it was impossible to fly
500 years ago, it was impossible to land on the moon
100 years ago, it was impossible for a computer to beat a human at chess.
Scientists will not only create organic life, they will also create artificial intelligence, which may very well teach them how to create organic life.

Your observations are based on what?
I keep up to date. This is untrue.
Science can only make a counterfeit. You should probably check your definition of what life is also.

Science can manipulate life (cloning and such), but will never *create* it. Period. It's been tried forever, and they are NOT even close.

They cannot create life, only God gives life, they can and will clone to decieve their creation!
