are we alone in the universe?

actually we know exactly how they are made and are even able to create them in labratories by simulating earths environment (not with some fancy machine) and chemicals present at the time. the word Atom comes from the greek word Atomos which was basically thought to be the smallest particle of matter. however no real knowledge came until Rutherford and the plum pudding model which comes after Darwin.

we are able to create amino acids in the lab, yes - but there are countless variations of amino acids. Most of them are tar like substances and are toxic.

To build one DNA strand every molecule, every atom has to be in the right place, or the DNA cannot reproduce, and it would not be suitable for life.

the fact that we can create amino acids in the lab is like taking 1 million dice and throwing them all on the floor - yes we can throw them, but we cant make them all come up 6 at the same time

we cant fabricate DNA from the raw elements
