And please, by no means consider this an acceptance of the burden of proof for anything. I am providing you with links to scientific research that exists (that you could have EASILY found on your own).
None of those articles claim that LIFE has been successfully replicated in a lab.

Quote:Researchers synthesized the basic ingredients of RNA, a molecule from which the simplest self-replicating structures are made. Until now, they couldn’t explain how these ingredients might have formed.
“It’s like molecular choreography, where the molecules choreograph their own behavior,” said organic chemist John Sutherland of the University of Manchester, co-author of a study in Nature Wednesday.
RNA is now found in living cells, where it carries information between genes and protein-manufacturing cellular components.
an RNA molecule does not = life.

Huggy, you're right. My choice of words was imprecise, and I'll own that. No one has yet to synthesize a protocell in the lab. This in no way undermines my point to you, however. What I should have said was necessary components for abiogenesis have been replicated (both synthetically, and purely by accident) in the lab, and such findings cannot be ignored.
There was a time when scientists could hardly imagine how life emerged from non-life, and now we have scientific evidence of metabolic pathways for glucose metabolism arising spontaneously! The possible mechanisms by which life emerged naturally from non-life have been opened up to us in a tangible way. Because of science. It's a beautiful example of the way science chips slowly away at mystery and superstition. Try following the evidence where it leads you for once, instead of clinging desperately to your fairy tale.
It's still an argument from ignorance; one that is shrinking before your eyes.
