Self-destructing Science

A current hot-topic these days is how scientists are so close to "creating life in a lab" and how this is supposed to further give credence to evolution. Obviously I'm not the only one who thinks this is fruitless as the article states and also the cartoon below.

The question this all raises (as the cartoon and article note) is that if intelligent scientists must gather special materials and use special (non-natural) methods to create even a minimal semblance of life (under very controlled conditions), then how is this not evidence for intelligent design? Moreover, how could it possibly be evidence for chance evolution?

Truly, it gives me a strange hybrid feeling (both sad and comical) to think of these men and all their ability or knowledge, not to mention their finances, as they scramble to defeat themselves, foolishly believing they can overcome the God of creation. All the while missing the huge flaw in the evolution theory, the problem of information without an intelligent source.

The image below (from AiG.org) is a wonderful depiction of the current situation, one that has been ongoing for over 50 years now.
