Well, there is a reason why we cannot create life. We have reduced the basic biology and chemistry down to it very roots, its protons and neutrons and nucleui, and, surprise of surprises, when we put all those little parts together ourselves - life does not spring forward. It just sits there being a cell - an unliving cell. Even the supposed bacteria and virus' that we have "almost" created, does not have proof of uncontaminated conditions.
The idea of "man-made" is an oxymoron - man makes nothing. We can only take the things that are already made, combine them, and come up with something else. We like to call it man-made - makes us feel important. We clone - but we make nothing - we take live cells and combine them with other live cells, and we get something else.
It reminds me of my grandparents, who used to have the idea that dirt caused bugs. Pile up some dirt, and bugs came forth. And, of course, that is so simplistic - my parents changed that to "it draws" - an entirely different concept. Bottom line is: add an unliving organism to an unliving organism or to 100 unliving organisms, put all the components to a cell together - and it will not start living.
Ah, there is the rub.
On another point - the idea that we are the only living creatures in a universe that goes way beyond what we even know about, is, unbelievably conceded.
