People have been creating life for millions of years, scientists too (though maybe at a lesser rate).
This is an impressive scientific feat, but it's something to be expected. We've known for a long time what DNA does, how it works and recently what genes indicate what. It was only a matter of time before we were able to synthesize "life."
That said, this isn't as incredible an achievement as some people like to think it is. It's not as if we replaced anything that god was supposed to have privileged access to. We are only taking greater control in a process which we've undergone for millions of years.

You must unlearn what you have learned.

Ummm, military technology has always been at the leading edge of research.

I would like to also remind that the military does not only research weapons.

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

mmm, I would like to point out they did not merely COPY a creature's dna and put it elsewere

But they synthesized existing DNA, right? Or am I missing something?
