Life to order: Man-made organisms will be here in four months, say biologists | Mail Online: "Researchers successfully transferred
the DNA of one type of bacteria into a yeast cell, modified it and then transferred it into another bacterial cell."

Observations:
1. Deja Vous? How many of these "creating life" proclamations have you seen over the years? Still not really done?
2. Note the "transferred" term in the article.
3. OK, these people are not creating life from scratch. They are modifying a simple form life at the gene level. Sure, it's a big deal (or could be) but not creating life in the God sense.
So there is still room for future "scientists create life" breakthrough proclamations.
