San Francisco conceptual artist Jonathon Keats ... [is] trying to genetically engineer God in a laboratory, using a technique called continuous in vitro evolution, a process used to accelerate useful mutations in bacteria by exposing them to favorable conditions. Since "favorable conditions" to God would mean the presence of continual worship and praise, he's playing tapes of various world religions' prayers to petri dishes filled with bacteria. Eventually, he reasons, the bacteria will evolve to those most capable of taking advantage of the favorable environment. Bingo, divinity.

This is not the interesting part. The interesting part is that Christianity is winning. (As a typical San Francisco moral relativist, Keats notes that his methodology may be flawed.)

Very amusing. But I wonder why he seems to think that all these religions hold that God is material?
