your logic is flawed. The only way we could be having these discussions is if those reactions did come together, be it by divine intervention, or that 1 in a billion chance. If any of the 999 million other possible futures had occured, we wouldn't be having this debate, so on that field, ID and evolution are sitting equal
So the way I look at it, the odds of it being accidental are so infinitesimally small (calculations I have read are much smaller than 1 in a billion), that an intelligent designer of some sort is far more likely.
but thats taking this argument far afield. The issue is still whether it should be taught in science class, and as I said previously, if it isn't falsifiable, it isn't science.
But the current arguments for the origin of life are not really falsifiable either. Harlod Ureys experiments used to be cited as proof that amino acids and therefore proteins could be easily made by lightning and the early earth atmosphere. Modern evolutionists no longer point to Ureys work because of many problems with his research, but mainly because there was not enough time.
Evolutionists used to talk about it taking a billion years or more for the first cell to have been accidently formed from protein laden pools of water on earth. They dont talk about that any more since fossils have been found in rocks that are 4.5 billion years old, and the earth started out as a molten magma sphere only 5 billion years ago, so quite literallly as soon as the earth has cooled off enough to have puddles of water on it, BANG! there is celluar life in those puddles.
The current explanation? Life on earth started with cells that accidently appeared on distant planets in other solar systems and galaxies, accidently making its way here by riding solar/galactic winds, and colonized earth once water formed.
How can you falsify that? We could collect the entire fossil record of the Andromeda galaxy, and if it provided no support to the colonial theory, the evolutionists would merely respond "Oh well, is must have been from another galaxy". Examine the entire universe, and they will conveniently start talking about alternate universes.
I have a hard time seeing how that theory can be held up as falsifiable. But they teach it in science classes all the time.
By the way, intelligent design is falsifiable rather easily in laboratories right here on earth today. Simply show in a lab that a single celled creature can be easily assembled by accident, (much like Urey tried to do) and you've completely eliminated the need for an intelligent designer. Biochemists have been trying for the past 50 years, and everything they learn about biophysical chemistry teaches them just how complex life really is.
