To grow viable organs in the lab, biologists are going beyond the genetics of development to study the physics and mechanics of cells in the early embryo. (http://www.technologyreview.com/BioTech/wtr_16168,306,p1.html)
Amazingly cool stuff. And, I'll bet there are christians out there that are already trying to figure out how to be offended by it. The last two paragraphs are especially aimed at that.

Its not such a new topic as you think. Biochemists have been trying to find out why protiens "fold" after creation for about a year now the physics in this process define life as we know it.

The amount of things said by the religious right that make sense fall in the range between "zero" and "zilch", hovering around "nothing".

That's what happens when a probability wave collapses in such a way that Physics chugs too many cosmopolitans and winds up banging Biochemistry in its car in the parking lot.
