I don't think you are understanding just how poor places like this are. They need cheap solutions to problems that took years for other, far richer places to roll out. Also how do we expect places like this to adapt to new tech? A cyber cafe there is a guy with 1 56k line and four 200 Mhz computers. You seem to be talking like a wall street type looking at a bum and saying " You know what he needs? A million dollar stock portfolio."
It was several billion years ago. At best any conditions are a guess made with the data at the time. We will never know for sure, but we try anyways. That's what we do. Eventually we'll hit on some thing that does create life such as this attempt. (Please note I have heard of A LOT of these attempts) It's justa matter of time before life is created. I just don't understand why they are even considering asking religous people about this what have they got to do with creating an sythetic (for lack of a better word) life form? If God did exist he was inolved with a different creation. What are we going to go around calling these people God if they are succesfull? I don't think so.
