☢The Theistic Response➼ to Atheists saying, "It Doesn't mean God Did it"

[Cyberman]

Ken Ham didn't lie in the debate because Christians are commanded not to lie. 

Thou shalt not lie-The Ninth Commandment

I see. Not "Ken Ham didn't lie in the debate because his work in the field stands up to peer review and makes testable predictions" - just empty rhetoric about taking his word as a xtian. You must have quite the bridge collection.

Bill Gates (founder and former CEO of Microsoft) recognized that the processing capabilities of DNA are “like a computer program but far, far more advanced than any software ever created.”Using all their intelligence and all the modern advances in science, have scientists ever created DNA or RNA in a laboratory through unguided naturalistic processes? If not, then isn’t the origin of life still an unverified assumption?

And yet Gates - who isn't a biologist - is still an atheist. Maybe there's something else going on that you either don't know about, don't care about, or are leaving out?

Shall we take a look? After all, as someone once said, we need to look at the full context, yes?

The quote you just gave was mined from Gates' book The Road Ahead - not a scientific journal - specifically chapter 9: Education: The Best Investment, in which he writes about his experiences as a high school pupil and the importance of good teachers making lessons interesting and thus memorable. The full context:

We have all had teachers who made a difference. I had a great chemistry teacher in high school who made his subject immensely interesting. Chemistry seemed enthralling compared to biology. In biology, we were dissecting frogs - just hacking them to pieces, actually - and our teacher didn't explain why. My chemistry teacher sensationalized his subject a bit and promised that it would help us understand the world. When I was in my twenties, I read James D. Watson's "Molecular Biology of the Gene" and decided my high school experience had misled me. The understanding of life is a great subject. Biological information is the most important information we can discover, because over the next several decades it will revolutionize medicine. Human DNA is like a computer program but far, far more advanced than any software ever created. It seems amazing to me now that one great teacher made chemistry endlessly fascinating while I found biology totally boring.

How many more red herrings are you going to throw out? The thing is, all these appeals to authority, especially misplaced authority, do absolutely nothing to bolster your case. A hotdog stuffed with sawdust won't taste any meatier, however much you cram in there. This is a perfect example of what I meant about these people lying for their cause. It's particularly egregious when the lies are so transparent and so easily exposed; it's insulting, quite frankly.

Wherever you are pulling these things from, whoever is telling them to you, they are lying to your virtual face - 9th commandment be hanged.

Question their sources.
