And there's a reason Alfred Russell Wallace is ignored - though we actually know he came up with the idea.

In time nobody will seriously challenge natural selection either.

Ah yes, the millenium when every knee will bow to Darwin, the Great.

. One will be when some creatures DNA sequence will be built from scratch, and cloned into the creature thereby bringing life to non-life in the laboratory.

There is no reason this could not be done in theory. But it won't be as it will be prohibitively troublesome and expensive. This would not be a big deal in reality - now finding life in the process of development from non-life by only natural means would be a big deal. We ought to be able to see this happening all the time around us, if it can actually happen. I lean to the idea it can't happen.

The next will be when DNA sequences are placed into some lifeform which changes the lifeform into a new species.

They're doing this. Gene splicing. Some folks on the left don't like it - frankenfood, etc.
