actually they dont. they are still looking for a way to create life, and have done several experiments. they were able to create amino acids in the laboratory. so maybe one day they will create simple life in a test tube. i dont know what the alibi of the religious people would then be.
You should have emboldened the first part. Which is what I said, DENIAL whether they acknowledge it or not. And again, they still cannot create something out of nothing. When I said single cell organism i was figurative. We can go to a more molecular level by saying amino acids, but then again its from some existing constituents. I would not argue if some scientist takes biological ingredients and breaks them down to their undivisible constituents and trys to stitch them together again. It will definitely be creditworthy but then again not what God did. Create something out of nothing. So the alibi will be the same as it is today. I never deined the great advancements we have achieved in science. I'm just not self-dellusional to believe that there is no creator. We can take things apart and maybe put them back together but we cannot create them. Its a very fine line which many scientists are unable to cross because they cannot accept the existence of a creator. Their denial is masqueraded in optimistic statements, this is not to undermine however the great things they achieve though. After all Allah SWT made us Ashraf ul maqlooqat. Allah SWT created us superior to other life forms but should not become arrogant of that fact.
