Is life just chemistry? So then life should be capable of being created in a laboratory right? I mean if life truly is just a bunch of chemicals then scientists should have no trouble producing life right? So then why haven't these erudite, scholarly, learned savants created life? What is the problem? Isn't the potter more intelligent than the clay? Aren't we the potter of life? Perhaps we are truly the clay just as the Bible states (illustratively of course not literally).Just thought I'd give you one to grow on.

Clearly in 1000 CE...since man could not fly, he would never be able to.
And no, the potter is not more intelligent than the clay, but the potter has to learn how to manipulate the clay before he can make anything more than an amorphous lump.
Besides, chemist are very good potters. However, the potter doesn't MAKE the clay, he makes objects from the clay: manipulates it. We manupulate human chemistry all the time. Making life is a whole different step.
Another fabulous analogy...not that you'll reply of course, because you actually don't have answers.

Are you NOT taking the Bible literally?

With all of our superb technology, knowledge, skill, ingenuity, and education scientists (plural which means that many heads are better than one) should be able to at least (at the very minimum) duplicate (deliberately) what scientists believe that random, chance occurrence did by fortuitous happenstance right? What is the hold up? Why should it take billions of years to create life with our smarts, technology, supercomputers, etc. In fact, which part evolved first the chicken or the egg--oops, I mean the brain or the foot? Why don't scientists simply make a toe? That's all, they don't have to make a brain, just create a big toe, and I'll be satisfied.

I bet we will create artificial life within our life time.
Why hasn't Jesus returned yet? It's been over 2000 years. 🙄

With all of our collective brain power, supercomputers the size of rooms, ingenuity, scientific prowess, savvy, complex machinery, robotics, education, B.A.s, B.S.s, Master degrees, and Phds--the best that we can do is create spam (artifical meat), I mean artifical life? Come on now Shakyamunision, random, chance, fortuitous happenstance cannot be smarter than us, can it? Just maybe there is a God...hmm.
Jesus is given you and others like you a chance to repent of your sins.

You know, if 1000 years ago you'd said "Man cannot create flying devices, therefore their ability to do so must be limited by God", your argument would have the same validity then as it would now.
But I didn't. I asked a valid question (it is valid because of the abundance of knowledge at our disposal and fingertips). We can send people to the moon, clone organisms, perform open heart surgery, make an ipod (er...uh...let me get back on track), communicate with people in other countries by phone or computer. We can do all of these amazing things but we cannot create an eye, or skin, or an efficient heart. We cannot even make a kidney, lung, or bladder. We cannot even create blood. I really don't understand why we cannot do all of these things. We can create an automaton, but we cannot give it a brain that is able to process information faster than the fastest supercomputer? I am nonplussed.
God? Could You possibly be the Creator of the human body?
