how come that scientist haven't been able to create living organism in laboratory using chemical elements ?

I am not speaking about aminoacids, i am speaking about organism with hability to reproduce and feed themselfs.

i mean if you are admiting that it is almost imposible and i takes a lot of test and millions years of conscient experimentation, doest that mean that living thing are not product of a random creation.

Even if they do create life in a laboratory it doesn't discredit God who created all the materials and ordered all things - we would just be following the Creator.

Not again. They have the building blocks of life. Amino Acids are what joins to create life. Amino Acids have been created in a laboratory from chemicals, and gases. We have yet to have created real life because science doesn't yet know how to create complex life forms. And before you say something idiotic like "that means science is wrong", think again. It only means that science doesn't know YET. Science doesn't know everything there is to know and is still learning.

Peter, you're still not getting it. Are you really dumb enough to think that science knows all its going to know ever? Come on, you have to be more intelligent than that.
Science hasn't YET created a complex organism in the lab. That doesn't mean they won't.
600 years ago, science hadn't YET created a ship to sail around the world. 200 years ago, we didn't yet have central heating in homes. 100 years ago, cars hadn't been invented yet. 50 years ago, internet was only a vague dream in somebodies eye. 20 years ago, no one would have thought we'd have cellular telephones the size of a credit card.
And yet, somewhere along the way, the scientists thought "what if this is possible" and then they made it happen.
Just because science has yet to do something doesn't mean they won't do it. Technology is moving so fast in changes that even now many of those of us that are very young are feeling overwhelmed by the speed. Heck, my sister is 27 and I'm 30 and we were just talking about it today.
To quote from a great movie "Imagine what you'll know tomorrow".

To date, science has yielded hybrid and modified organism by manipulating genes. Genetically modified foods, drugs, animals, etc. has shown that life depends on chemistry for it's form and function. That scientists have not spontaneously created life is probably for two reasons. First, creating life takes such a long time that it may take thousands or millions of years of experiments to actually do it, which doesn't disprove that it can't be done. Second, there's no reason to create new life spontaneously when we can simply modify what exists to suit any need much more easily and profitably.

Yet another misinformed retard!
Living things are the product of D.N.A.
DeoxyriboNucleicAcid, which act as switches, and to create life the switches must be in the correct sequence The main role of DNA in the cell is the long-term storage of information. It is often compared to a blueprint, since it contains the instructions to construct other components of the cell, such as proteins and RNA molecules..
Nature has had Billions of years to randomly set the switches, and you want PROOF that human can do the same in 50 years.
Oh, sorry the world is only 6000 years old, eh!

They have done it, reproducing the specific special circumstances in which life first came about. The theory of Oparin said that there was a "soup of bacteria" before life appeared. Then, the direct effect of sun light over it, when there was not an atmosphere, yet, reacted with them creating chains of proteins, wich aare the basis of the living beings.

Look at all the things science and inventors have discovered and achieved, this computer you are using for one. Technology grows each day and one day science will be able to do all the things that religion still has left to be answered.
By the way we are not 'atheist people' we are human beings like you!

What will be your excuse when scientists do create life in the laboratory? It was just a hundred fifty years ago we figured out what germs were. Give it a little time, I'm sure we will do it.

Do you really want to know? Or are you preaching?
Go and educate yourself. The answers are out there. Plenty of people have given you the answers already. But I don't think your question was a genuine one, I don't think you really want to learn.
You think that humans are special and deserve a special creator. Get over yourself.

Yep, and they are working on it. Just because we haven't figured it out yet doesn't mean it's god. Tell you what. I'll admit I was wrong if you pull some living thing apart and find something OTHER than chemicals.

Give it a few years. They are getting close. They can monkey around with almost every part, resequenced simple DNA, clone things, make amino acids, and the like. It is just a matter of time.
When they do it, are you joining us?
