Yes, I DO have another: If carving David out of Marble does not produce a product of nature

Well. Just wait a bit and it will happen.

That's a short rant, not an answer.

The question is, is the result of carving a statue out of marble a product of
nature.

If not, then why is the result of carving a gene out of a chromosome a product
of nature?

"To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I. AUGUSTE BARTHOLDI, of Paris, in the Republic of France,
have originated and produced a Design of a Monumental Statue, representing
"Liberty enlightening the world," being intended as a commemorative
monument of the independence of the United States; and I hereby declare the
following to be a full, clear and exact description of the same, reference being
had to the accompanying illustration, which I submit as part of this
specification.

The statue is that of a female figure standing erect upon a pedestal or
block, the body being thrown slightly over to the left, so as to gravitate upon
the left leg, the whole figure being thus in equilibrium, and symmetrically
arranged with respect to a perpendicular line or axis passing trough the head
and left foot. The right leg, with its lower limb thrown back, is bent, resting
upon the bent toe, thus giving grace to the general attitude of the figure. The
body is clothed in the classical drapery, being a stola, or mantle gathered in
upon the left shoulder, and thrown over the skirt or tunic or under-garment,
which drops in voluminous folds upon the feet. The right arm is thrown up and
stretched out, with a flamboyant torch grasped in the hand. The flame of the
torch is thus held high up above the figure. The arm is nude; the drapery of the
sleeve is dropping down upon the shoulder in voluminous folds. In the left arm,
which is falling against the body, is held a tablet, upon which is inscribed
"4th July, 1776." This tablet is made to rest against the side of the
body, above the hip, and so as to occupy an inclined position with relation
thereto exhibiting the inscription. The left hand clasps the tablet so as to
bring the four fingers onto the face thereof. The head with its classical, yet
severe and calm, features, is surmounted by a crown or diadem, from which
radiate divergingly seven rays, tapering from the crown, and representing a
halo. The feet are bare and sandal-strapped."
