I did criticize your argument when I mentioned that all you have is humans building living organisms, based on all the "rules" of living organisms that humans had discovered before. But it seems your comprehension is a bit slow... huh?.. others have told you exactly the same, and yet, you keep parroting that no one is addressing your argument.
Humans are pretty close to creating machine life too. Such an achievement will not be based on the rules of living organisms. Also it is quite likely we will invent new rules of living organisms(actually we already have....watermarks).
