Lab-created DNA

Scripps Institute in California announced (May 2014) "the creation of the first-ever organism to utilize “alien” DNA."  That is, DNA that is not entirely natural but rather was partly created in the lab.

Since humans can create DNA and maybe life in the lab, does this mean that God is unnecessary to explain the first life on earth?

No, says biochemist Dr. Fazale Rana.  "This recent, brilliant work by the Scripps Institute team provides empirical support for a creation model. It demonstrates that turning “inanimate” matter into living systems and radically transforming living systems require intelligent agency."

So we could say that . . the fact that intelligent scientists can design DNA in the lab only shows that it takes intelligence to design DNA!  It sure doesn't happen by accident.
