Yes, yes, they've demonstrated intelligent design. Assembling something in a lab doesn't really "replicate" anything unless you can show it could have happened on the early earth with no scientists around. Because we can get reactions to work in the controlled conditions of a laboratory, he cautions, it does not follow that similar ones occurred on prebiotic Earth. We might overlook something that becomes apparent when we try to reproduce the reactions in a natural setting. This provocative insight explains why the origin-of-life field has been short on progress over the past half century, whereas molecular biology has flourished. (Robert Shapiro, " Life's beginnings," Nature, Vol. 476:30-31 (August 4, 2011) (emphasis added).) BTW assembling a molecule doesn't even address the encoding or language issue.
