In the case which you mention; just because some beings would be created in a laboratory doesn’t mean the scientists designed the organisms. They just setup the proper conditions for life to happen. And that means life knows how to “assemble” itself ON ITS OWN when the right conditions are present(and by "knows" I mean natural laws), regardless of whether these conditions where setup by scientists or by mere coincidence (luck).

The example you try to give has a flaw which u seem to ignore intentionally, and that is that the intelligent organisms u mentioned would also evolve from molecules somewhere else in the universe where the conditions are equal to those set up by scientists in the laboratory. So the conditions in planet X are the same. So life assembles itself without any help from any other (supreme?) organism. What would the organism with better eyes which u mention see? No creator at all. What do we see?

Regarding the article: This just places another nail in creationism's coffin, and I’m sure there will be more nails comming, although I still don’t expect many creationists to stop believing, like someone said:
"Rational arguments don't work on religious people. If they did there wouldn't be any religious people"
