Craig Venter group is in a position to create many new species via gene splicing. They even applied for patents for the processes.
With intelligent input, new species don't take 3.5Ba to create new species.
If Craig's scientists can create new species, so could God.
Creationists are right after all.

Not really. If we can create completely novel bacteria in a laboratory...then it proves we understand the chemistry and mechanisms of a living cell well enough to construct our own. Nothing more, nothing less.
Funny... seems to me the excuse against abiogenesis has always been that 'only God can create life!'
Though if I understand correctly, this example does not actually deal with abiogenesis. Still, the point remains.
Except that it's rather pointless for god to "engineer" something in the first place and do it through a rather inferior system of amino acids. Is that the best he could do? If so, we are becoming better at this stuff than god is. It's a conundrum, wouldn't you say?
Following this logic: I can ride a bike. Therefore Bob Boberts McBobberson of 42 Dreary Road Lane, Nowhere, America can ride a bike, only more betterer. Even though such a person does not exist.
I know there are roughly... a zillion T.Nguyens out there, but I hope someone can find out if this is one of the really nutty ones that believes God/Angels are aliens, and secretly seeded human life onto the planet some unclear number of years ago.
... Or maybe that wasn't a bizarre belief set, maybe that was just the back story to a conspiracy theory game.
The idea that scientists exists is just a theory, The Holy Scriptures does not mention any "scientists", therefore it can't exists. have you ever seen a human evolve into a scientist!?!! didn't think so! And if humans can evolve into scientists why are there still humans around? think about that!
Score 1 for happymealungen.
So, Nguyen, someone has managed to-- according to you-- speed up the process of evolution. Therefore, Creationism is right?
Of course, I forgot, as long as the conclusion is one of the main tenets of fundyism it doesn't matter how you get there.
Um, no. You've been reading too much Final Fantasy.
As Hojo says, "LET IT BE SPLICED!"

No. Creationists don't argued that God could create new species; they argue that evolution couldn't, which is a whole different thing.
No comments about Bioshock? Disappointing...
Remember now, zap and whack, give em the old one two punch.
Or,
So, why did god make us so messed up? I mean, what the fuck is the appendix even for ? Seems he can't design things so well. At least we know the scientists are being careful and methodical in their work, so they'll likely be doing a better job than you god in no time.
I knew it!
Venter is a god!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
