Invent cheap mechanical devices that allow you move around easilly, but still be in a vehicle (sort of like a rolling chair/mechanical skateboard or something like that). I'm sure that we could also add some form of weapon system to the thing, giving our walking soldiers an advantage over others...

The question isn't really, "Can God alone make life?" but rather, "did God make _this_ life?" i.e., the life we're living right now. For a created being like a human to create life doesn't disprove the need for creation in the first place... even if we were able to create copies of ourselves (a la cloning)
God was the Original Creator of life... once He got us started and gave us the ability to learn and reason, then He oppened the possibility (please remember that this experiment has _not_ been successfully performed yet) for us to emulate his creation.
But could we create something without the original blueprint to life? We'll never know, because our very existance gives us a pre-existing familiarity with life -- although it is counter-intuitive to believe that anyone could perform this "creation" without years of biological training.
In short, this does nothing to prove that God is not the original creator... if you want to do that, go create your own Universe, complete with an artifical bacteria. _Then_ I'll be impressed.
...Life is open source. God gave us the code (DNA)... it just took us a while to develop an editor to play with it in. Now all we need is a compiler. Don't claim you wrote Life to start with though. You didn't. I wonder if He GPL'd life?...

Then again, maybe not.

Just a thought.
