A genetic deformity:
Or victims of Agent Orange:
Examples of deformity caused by genetic mutation or natural/outside forces say what exactly about God's perfect divinely hand-crafted, pre-programmed creation? In your opinion.
Who said it was perfect?

Saturn's Largest Moon Has Ingredients for Life?
[QUOTE]The chemical "letters" used to write the basic code for life on Earth might exist on Saturn's largest moon, according to new research presented Thursday.
The findings suggest the building blocks of life on Earth may have originated in the air, not only in primordial "soup" on land.
Based on lab experiments, scientists concluded it's possible the thick atmospheric haze on Titan contains the five so-called nucleotide bases used in DNA and RNA, as well as some simple amino acids

If the machinery to replicate cells is not perfect, then it's bound to make mistakes. This should be obvious.

Plus the whole science not being able to create cells is somewhat outdated since a self-replicating synthetic genome was made at the Venter Institute.
So yeah... back to the future prophesy gimmick.

Well it's obvious to me. I'm just wondering why certain people think that natural forces can't affect 'God's machinery' when we see it happening all the time. And if nature/outside forces can alter/change cell coding and force mutation... why should anyone believe that God created the machine in the first place? It's obvious that if he did program the cell, it's a flawed system (made by a flawed being?) that is CLEARLY affected by nature.

You don't even have to go that far away. I think it is likely that we will find some form of life in our own solar system one day (not including earth).

Where did I say that it can't be affected by nature/outside forces? Explain how it's a flawed system and it is faulty logic to think that perfect beings can only make perfect things.

You remember this, right?
U.S. scientists create first 'synthetic life'
U.S. researchers have created the world's first "synthetic life," a strain of bacteria created with man-made DNA.
"This is the first self-replicating cell we've had on the planet whose parent is a computer," team leader Craig Venter of the J. Craig Venter Institute in Rockville, Md., told USA TODAY's Dan Vergano. Venter has been a leader in human genome mapping as well as synthetic biology.
The breakthrough is "a defining moment in the history of biology and biotechnology," Mark Bedau, a philosopher at Reed College and editor of the journal Artificial Life, toldScience magazine.
The sci-fi strain of the blue bacteria, which are not infectious, is in a freezer and headed to a museum.
Regarding the broader implications of the research, the Venter Institute writes, "Throughout the course of this work, the team contemplated, discussed, and engaged in outside review of the ethical and societal implications of their work.

I was addressing the OP's article and the assertion that nature/natural forces do not affect the basic cell/DNA/etc. Disease, mutation, etc makes it a flawed system, especially one that was crafted by a divine being. What is your definition of perfection? Especially considering we are supposedly made in his image, Elephantiasis and all.

Is God proud of his shoddy work?

They didn't create a cell though They constructed a genome from scratch and inserted it into an EXISTING bacterial cell... So they created working DNA, not a cell in its entirety.
Where in the article does it assert that? Reread the article again please.
Man created in God's image does not assert man is perfect. God resides in spirit and does not have a physical body, so our physical bodies and imperfections do not reflect God. I see two meanings in the phrase "created in God's image": God is living, and we reflect that because we are living and God has free will, and we have free will and we have the ability to choose.

Nah, it's not shoddy at all. It's an extraordinarily accurate system.

Why would a perfect being make a world that is so imperfect?
