Yeah, i guess that control thing is the one thing that would be missing, but i mean it REALLY isn't that hard to control something, you can to SOME degree alter how that potato will go, but not entirely. (well if you made that potato the way of genetics you could alter everything about it.)
Which is to say, if one can create life, destroy life, and alter how that life will grow, what are they? Technically that would be a demi-god, as its only over one thing, not everything in the universe.
