It's not creating life, it's a Mail article with a sensationalist misleading headline- not exactly a scientific journal. It looks to be partly the effort of Venter's publisher to hype his new book. Carl Zimmer clears up the hype:
The Loom : Talking to Craig Venter

Dr. Venter and the synthetic genomics team at the Venter Institute have not yet created synthetic life. While progress is being made toward this goal, it has not yet been achieved.

Any announcements or publications on the synthetic organism are likely still months away.​
