[sapientiae3]

The thing I wonder about, is that presumable we can control temperature, pressure, magnetism, electric currents, elements and pretty much everything we know and understand in the physical to a relatively fine degree. We can simulate most environments that have existed on the planet over its existence, and yet with all that control, we cannot create even the simplest of life. We can manipulate it, alter it, destroy it - but we cannot yet create it. So either we don’t understand things nearly as well as we think we do, or there are some things that we don’t even know about yet.
