Understanding the universe goes far beyond creating 'life' in a test-tube. It's interesting to speculate, but I don't know how anyone can have an opinion about what the ultimate basis of reality is, as we perceive it.
I like to think of god as being inherent in the laws of physics. Understanding of god increases as we leverage our abilities to understand the Universe. Speculation on whether there is an intelligent force behind the Universe is meaningless. Speculation on what constitutes (meta?) intelligence is interesting but also meaningless.
All religions are so clearly pure mysticism that I have to assume that any intelligent person who 'knows' the nature of God or how God wants us (particularly me and mine) to behave either has a hidden agenda or is yet another victim of the religious mass-hysteria that evolved from metaphysical attempts to explain the universe long before the scientific method evolved.
Hey, maybe it's all just the Matrix. If so, don't wake me, I got a good part.
