Re: Accurate knowledge?
The scientists "decoded" the chromosome of an existing bacterial cell - using a computer to read each of the letters of genetic code.
They copied this code and chemically constructed a new synthetic chromosome, piecing together blocks of DNA.
The team inserted this chromosome into a bacterial cell which replicated itself. Synthetic bacteria might be used to make new fuels and drugs.
Try reading the second part of this quote note the words "constructed a new synthetic chromosome"
and yes in this case they did not use a purely man made cell tough we have been making those for 6 years.

Re: Catechism
No, it's logic. Whether one believes the Bible is inspired of God or not, the interpretation or meaning of the subjects in the writings is best ascertained by comparing scripture for scripture or the Bible to itself. Outside interpretation spoils it.

Re: Accurate knowledge?
Wait, are you saying we've been creating man made cells (from scratch) for 6 years? What do you mean? What is your source? I have heard nothing of the sort. Only endless debates of what pieces come first to form a cell from scratch.

Go to Scientific American, search 'man made cell'. or google it and see what you find.

Right, like talking snakes. pillars of salt, and global floods.
Sure sounds like a bunch of tribal myths.
Back to the topic?

Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.

That isn't how we interpret any other book. We don't look for self-consistency in Treasure Island to determine Long John Silver's place in evolution.

You can have brevity and clarify, or you can have accuracy and detail, but you can't easily have both. --Percy

That's a great con job used by the Christian Cult of Ignorance and actually might work if they ever honestly did the comparisons, but they don't.

Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!
