I�m putting a sentence in Japanese into English. The following are what I have made.

1. However much science and technology have advanced, we still can�t even make a leaf of a tree.
2. However much advanced science and technology are, we still can�t even make a leaf of a tree.
3. However advanced science and technology are, we still can�t even make a leaf of a tree.

I�m not sure if they make sense. Could you give a comment, especially on the first half of each sentence, please?

They're all OK.

Thank you, pugachevV.

I'd appreciate if you could tell me the difference between the two below.
2. However much advanced science and technology are, we still can�t even make a leaf of a tree.
3. However advanced science and technology are, we still can�t even make a leaf of a tree.
