A fact of the matter is that, try as they might, they have not begun life. They may have synthesized some component molecules, or claimed they did, but they have never succeeded in actually producing a living type creature or causing one to necessarily spontaneously arise out of chemical components. The fact is, life is a substance that they cannot mimic and have never produced. A way it might express it self is as a coordinated and sustained level of energy performing certain processes, one of them to keep the organism intact, but there is no reason to assert that it necessarily is not more than that. It can reside in a seed for centuries, then be brought back about. They can make all the chemicals they want, or claim to, but they never produced life.
