Semen and eggs being made from stem cells?

If we can manage to genetically modify ourselves or do the cyborg thing before we blow ourselves up, we may not be forgeted as a race.

That's how it's going to end. I'm going to push the button.
Rughugger:
Yes, they were made, however the televised argument to debunk that is that the Earth was in a state that life should not have been able to form in the first place. The atmosphere was too toxic, and the places that would have been perfect grounds for such formation of life was too remote for an electrical charge to set it off. I don't remember what show it was on, but they did a lot of tests on that and couldn't make primordial soup using proposed environments existing on Earth at that time.
I'm not saying it is logically sound, but it is a strong possibility. We just don't know. My theory is just as viable as any other about how humanity came to be. Short of a time machine, we will never truly know. That is just my theory.

Toxic? Most of the oxygen in the atmosphere was put there by life. Oxygen was originally a waste product. Water and the 'building block' elements and molecules were all present in the early Earth.

Yeah but since there was no life before then, the atmosphere was toxic so life was formed in the seas. Life did not move to land until sufficient oxygen levels could build up for use by evolved creatures that used this waste as a means of actual self sufficiency.
