we have moved beyond splicing genes into bacterium and have them produce certain proteins. Now we can create all new bacterium. Though this article didn't really explain how hard it was to do this, creating entire sections of dna is a lot harder than specific substrands for our tools get harder to use the bigger the strand is.
Scientists have created life! God reported to be "miffed"

Copying one organisms DNA and putting it into another organisms cells is creating life?
