In the linked article, the authors point out that not only are novel arrangements not threatening to God's sovereignty but it actually weakens the opponents argument.  They point out that the scientists need the Universe, themselves, and their knowledge to create their novel arrangements.  Not only that but this also points out that an intelligent designer is necessary in order to create life.  If an intelligent designer was unnecessary then the life would be able to create create itself in the lab without the scientists.I have heard it said that if scientists can create life in a lab it would be proof that life is not in fact a miracle and therefore does not require a supernatural explanation.  At fact value this makes sense.

Synthetic Life and the Image of God

After thinking about this for a bit I realized that the scientists are still in the lab using components provided by natural life.  The scientists are just rearranging the components in novel ways.  At this point it would seem that maybe the argument is at a stalemate.

    I believe that no matter what worldview we espouse we should understand what we believe any why.  I hope to show others that the Christian worldview is not only accurate but true.  If not, I hope they will be clear on why they reject it.
