Fine, but that creation in the lab is not ex nihilo. We cannot go back before the big bang, because according to science, there was no before the big bang. Time itself started at the big bang.
I'm just saying we've gotten more answers about creation... and performed it ourselves in very fundamental, primordial ways... than by following the teachings of any deist. Not once has science been held back by the lack of belief in God.
We're discovering the mechanisms of creation and not one of them suggests that the correct path is deism.
In fact, we've learned so much about our world that we know there are parts of our brain that create religious delusions when stimulated, we know that mankind has a tendency to lapse into superstition and madness when relying on his baser reflexes and we know that the human mind has the power to shape ourselves in accordance with our beliefs... so the human mind can perfectly replicate evidence divine intervention.
The more we learn about the world and the more we learn about the human internal wiring that defaults to religious delusions, the less likely it seems that deism is the truth.
