Then I guess humans outsmarted God, because we've *already* created life from lifeless chemcials. See the artifical polio virus made a year or so ago out of raw materials.
Now, be honest: if according to God mankind *cannot* create life, but scientists go ahead and do it anyway... what happens to your belief? Do you abandon God? Do you conclude that your previous view on the impossibility of man-made life was wrong... and if so, what else do you come to reject? Or do you just deny that it happened?
