wow... amazing, honest effort to clarify the difference to theists.
synthetic life is ambiguous, saying nothing about which parts of the organism are artificial and which parts are essentially stolen. you could just as well call an organism that was entirely created by artificial processes 'synthetic life'. are you drunk dude?

That'll answer all those. "Can your scientists create life?" questions...
'well, they have created synthetic life but note that synthetic life has nothing to do with abiogenesis'
