How do you know? This simply depends upon your definition of life.
And why would we not be able to create life easily? Given the right mix of chemicals and the right environment for them to exist in then it may be inevitable that at some point a self replicating process will occur.
However, it may take millions of years for this to happen. Nothing for the Earth but too long for a scientist in his lab. On the other hand, scientists have 'created' all the building blocks for life and perhaps the next step in the process is just around the corner.
Yes, but living organisms can reproduce with almost no effort and make life immediately.
It is the same as the reason why science hasn't been able to even make a single seed of any sort. The seeds that grow our food did not evolve into a seed it was created.
