There is some controversy about whether viruses are alive or just a molecular strand of DNA encapsulated in a protein. There are many proteins lesser than a virus that harm life.
A virus can't replicate unless it has taken over a living cell. So, I guess the questioner is right in his question.
Delusions are not easily let go.
Yes they will create life in the laboratory soon. But I think that they will need to create a situation in the laboratory that allows life to begin spontaneously. This is the type of science we need to give us a better understanding about how life began on Earth way back around 4 billion years ago they say now.
Also, if anybody knows, how is the Proof of God coming along?

It seems to be a complex problem, however there are several line of investigation going. I hate to say it, but it seems that the amino acids needed seem to form really well in space, so it may have been the water bearing meteors that spread the seeds of life. I'm remaining skeptical, but there seems to be reasonable evidence.
Of course once we have amino acids present it is a million or so year process in forming pre and simple life.

Edit 2:
Silly World, you such look into current thought on Super String theory. The problems with the singularity Started to shake out in 2001 when a 11th dimension was added to the model, this unified the 5 string theories and should that the singularity wasn't, it was just one of many such occurrences.

I think it's awesome how much faith you put in something with no scientific evidence. I am not limited to viewing life in purely scientific terms. Having met God I am free to interpret the information in the light of such knowledge.
Perhaps it would be easier for you to abandon theories which don't work, and take another look at creation?

Scientists in the US say they have taken a major step towards producing life from scratch in the laboratory.

This is not a scientific explanation. It is a philosophical/religious one.
In fact true science shows that the emergence of life from non-life is not possible.
It is curious that deluded people still cling to the idea of abioenesis, often quoting the Urey-Miller experiment.
However, this experiment simply demonstrated that life simply cannot 'happen by accident'!
And for many reasons - check here for details

To think of we are the only 'clever' life (questionable) in this massive Universe is total conceitedness. It is going to instruct how small minded we are. (no longer you) So, to respond to your question specific they're available. i do no longer understand approximately Roswell. If it did ensue i'm specific that the government will suppress it. they must. thank you for an astonishing question

Christians and evolutionists, you both have the same problem for me.
What came before God, and what came before the big bang??
You both only account for half the story

It wasn't spontaneous, it was a build up of non-living material. You're thinking of the old defintion of abiogenesis which was discredited many many years ago.

since you haven't produced your results in a lab, why do you continue in the delusion that you actually do produce them
since we haven't produced them, isn't that clear proof that it was done by God and not man
primordial soup, proteins Rna DNA
but wait you need RNA to make proteins
but RNA is made of protiens
but you need RNA to make proteins
man can not overcome this, in any lab anywhere
so you know what that means.....

I thought they'd done experiments (was it Harold Urey?) in the 1950's that produced complex organic molecules and even amino acids. I expect they have come a lot further today.

Looks good.
