Why do atheists claim that the concept of God is so unlikely

RE: Why do atheists claim that the concept of God is so unlikely
Scientists can, with enough experimentation, take DNA from a lizard, change it and, ignoring all economic, legal and ethical restraints, change that DNA to have as many dog properties as they like.  They won't know what every little change they make will do, but they very much can create a dog-like creature starting with lizard DNA.  They can even make "synthetic DNA", DNA whipped up in a lab to be anything they like, to replace any bits they want to, no dog to get DNA from necessary.

So there is no "breach".  There are no arbitrary limits to how much a thing can be changed.  That is a completely manufactured falsehood.

And evolution isn't the study of "the origins of life".  That's abiogenesis, a completely different study.  The Bible can't explain how tacos are made.  What's your point?

As for the eye, if memory serves, horses and squid have eyes like ours except with several parts missing.  Dogs are missing the part that lets them see color.  The eye is not "irreducibly complex".  And, in fact, if you remove so many parts so that all the eye can do is detect if there is light or not that eye can STILL tell me if it's night or day, making it very much NOT "useless".

The only "evidence" that suggests that the Bible is correct when it says "like begets like" is that, when you throw out all the evidence, it seems to be true.  Of course the answers are going to be the same when you're working off the same level of ignorance.  We have a lot more data now than watching kittens being born or chickens hatch, thus, a better understanding than primitives had when the Bible was written.  You might as well go find an uncontacted tribe in the Amazon and ask them to explain the universe to you.  If you're dumb enough to take the explanations given by primitives over those of trained scientists than you deserve the ignorance you are wallowing in.
Have you ever noticed all the drug commercials on TV lately?  Why is it the side effects never include penile enlargement or super powers?
Side effects may include super powers or enlarged penis which may become permanent with continued use.  Stop taking Killatol immediately and consult your doctor if you experience penis enlargement of more than 3 inches, laser vision, superhuman strength, invulnerability, the ability to explode heads with your mind or time travel.  Killatoll is not for everyone, especially those who already have convertibles or vehicles of ridiculous size to supplement penis size.
