Looks like you jumped the gun.
Min, you are too dumb for words. It is you who has jumped the gun. Had a theist posted something so inaccurate here people would have ripped them a new one. But since you're for the atheist cause they decided to let it slide, or figured I wouldn't catch the gaffe.
What was discovered has nothing to do with abiogenesis. Scientists have synthesized a single-cell genome using laboratory chemicals. However, this genome would have to be incorporated into an existing, living cell for life to be created. As Craig Venter explains it, DNA is like software for living organisms. So in the same way that an artificial heart, or a synthetic body part can be built and incorporated into a living human being, it was only a matter of time before this software called genome could be constructed and incorporated into a living cell.
This has nothing to do with abiogenesis, or the experiments that have been conducted to prove it. So let's make something clear. A living cell has never been replicated from inanimate matter in a laboratory or elsewhere, and never will be.
