Jimmypost -- your tone is harsh, condescending and sarcastic which is only polarizing this tender debate. Please speak truth in love.

Merkin, your assumptions that evolution is complete fact is dangerous as expressed in your optimism that scientists will create a living cell. Your optimism itself isn't a bad thing, but I've found that many evolutionists have mixed up optimism with fact. Scientists have been optimistic for years that more evidence of natural origins of life, or more transitional fossils will give their argument more credibility.
For example, the large majority of arguments for natural origins of life are speculative (I refrain from saying all are speculative because there has been some respectable research done.)

Merkin, I respect your zeal for the evolutionary theory. However, to call it fact is deceiving since the mechanisms itself aren't "entirely, conclusively, understood." At the most basic level, evolutionists must provide scientific evidence that a change a change due to mutation in one protein gives the 'birth' of a newer protein (here's the important part) with a new and novel function.
I dispute common descent because of the numerous holes in evolution (I put my chips into something we, as humans, can understand, like how Jesus Christ came as God in the flesh and died for our sins so that we may have eternal life), but based on my education background, I am most able to discuss the evolutionary theroy at the molecular level.
