Has anyone in a lab actually created life?

Yes and No.   See this article  and decide for yourself.

Craig Venter and his team synthesized a chromosome that does not occur in nature. 

However he did not start  totally with non-organic  elements.  So Venter and his team has made a synthetic living thing but he did not start from scratch the way nature did.  We are getting there  but we have not yet arrived.
