Read more carefully. The article says: "The scientists have synthesized for the first time RNA enzymes that can replicate themselves without the help of any proteins or other cellular components, and the process proceeds indefinitely."

Nor is anyone claiming to know precisely how life got started, just that researchers are exploring possibilities. That it's a work in progress.

That life is self sustaining and self evolving is clear, how it began is still being investigated, and to say God must have initiated life is not a solution, but a cop out, a bias.
