I despise scientists, even if they did good for this world.

I despise missionaries, even if they did good for this world. Oh, no wait.

Mind telling us why you hate scientists? I mean, think of someone like Newton, or Galileo, or Darwin!

Re: .

Many scientists today only bring in information for money.
The information they give out sometimes isnt even true.  As long as they throw something out there the they are paid.

For Earlier:  And Darwin was a Christian.

Now tell me... When did I EVER say that Darwin wasn't a christian? Ohh wait, let me Google THAT for you.

Tell me what that turns up...

Was Newton was a christian.
Now how about Galileo?

Something tells me you guys are trying to mock me in some way. Yet I can't understand how.

No, there isn't proof they exist. And for good reasons too.

Dragons - I haven't heard of any reptiles in recent history with 6 limbs (6 legs or 4 legs 2 wings)
Mermaids - Eww, fish and human crossbreeding.
Magic - Oh look I can make a coin float too!

Dragons - Well, actually, there is hesitation about a dinosaur skeleton which has 6 legs.
Mermaids - Eh... accident?
Magic - That's not magic, that's just doing tricks.

fix'd. i can't believe you've looked at the title screen and can't spell it right.

Dragons - Well, actually, there is hesitation about a dinosaur skeleton which has 6 legs.
Mermaids - Eh... accident?
Magic - That's not magic, that's just doing tricks.

Even flying dinosaurs of the prehistoric period only had 4 limbs.

Accident? Oh so woman actually enjoyed doing it with fish. Either that or we wore violating fish "by accident".

The closest to a dragon that can exist are those thing from Avatar, because they're pretty much pteradons with a velociraptor's head...

And as for mermaid there is actually a genetic mutaton called the Mermaid Syndrom, or sirenomelia, where the limbs of the legs are fused together and looks like a mermaid tail...I dunno if that counts...

Also sailors thought for a long time that sea cows are mermaids.

I am not sure if it's even possible to cross-breed a human and a fish.
I doubt it's possible, but I can only judge off of what little knowledge I have
about cross-breeding creatues.

Correct, we can't cross breed any mammal with any kind of fish, amphibian, reptile, or insect. It's not that the DNA composition is different, but rather the entire structure of the DNA itself is different.

I believe this is how the splicing chain goes:

Mammals can be spliced with mammals and birds.
Birds can be spliced with reptiles and mammals.
Reptiles can be spliced with birds and amphibians.
Amphibians can be spliced with reptiles.

I do not even believe fish can be spliced with other parts of the animal kingdom.

Re: .

So what if you would continue the chain?
Mammal x Bird
Outcome x Reptile
Outcome x Amphibian
You would get a flying waterscale human-like thingie

HOWEVER: Since dolphins are mammals, would there be a possibility to have a human with a dolphin tail?

Continuing the chain: It's theoretically possible, but it would require it to be built from the ground up instead of mixing. So it would take a VERY long time (years upon years) to get a stable creature with those characteristics.

Dolphins x Human: Well yes, it is possible to mix a dolphin and human DNA together. But to get a human with a dolphin tail would require it to be built from the ground up like I said before. We would need to crack the genome itself to understand each and every part of the human and dolphin body. And the human genome is the most complicated ever.

I highly doubt it would survive. DNA is delicate, and so is the organism itself.

The possibility of creating, from scratch, a DNA genome that can replicate itself to form a creature with a nervous system stable enough to even survive (let alone think and have a consciousness) would be VERY hard. Above today's technology, and most likely past the 22nd century too.

But now you gave me a game idea :-P

You're always going to have to have some sort of DNA to create a living thing. You always have to have something to make something.

Not necessarily. You can always start out making DNA from scratch without any base DNA at all. Infact, scientists recently just created the first artificial organism. Granted it was a very simple single-celled being, but it's a start!

Reminds me to an older Dr. Who episode with human farming to use "living pieces of flesh" as lab rats for diseases and cures.

I don't know about that. They say that the explosion of science is due in the next few decades. Who knows what'll happen.

Re: .

Scientific discoveries have always been exploding since at least the Rennaisance times. "Explosion" is a relative term that is, in this case, exponential and will be that way in the forseeable future.
