So, if scientists are successful at "creating" life, does that mean that that life came about because of "Intelligent Design"?

It would mean that life is such an easy step for organic chemistry that mere humans in a lab could do it. This would suggest (not prove) that -- contrary to the claims of some theolgians -- such matters do not require, much less prove, the activities of a deity.

I'm not interested in dancing around with you about the multiple meanings of "intelligent design" which are inherent in your post.

That is certainly one way of looking at it.

However, you would need to observe the processes required to synthesize that life. If it were totally beyond what is believed to have existed, or even could have existed, it would imply intelligent design.

By your logic, the fact that computers exist--increasingly with relative ease--than that proves they are natural creations. However, we know that there is no way computers could naturally arise--mostly due to thermodynamics and entropy--but also due to the incredibly force it takes to create them.
