"Researchers have designed and synthesized a minimal bacterial genome, containing only the genes necessary for life, and consisting of just 473 genes."
I can hear the creationists now: "See? This proooooooves that an intelligent creator is needed!" And "Minimum of 473 genes? Irreducible complexity!" And "Duh, duh.. gaawwwwwwdd!"

Most humans can't put a round peg in a square hole. So complexity is relative to what?
A minimal life form, derived from naturally occurring life forms, isn't the creation of life itself, it is a re-jiggling of existing life-bits ... which will be useful as a test bed to develop new medicines, and biological weapons.
