   You know what's odd?   
      
   Let's say that there's a big announcement tomorrow, that scientist   
   announce that they created life from non-life under laboratory   
   conditions.   
      
   Yup. They ensure us that they began with an absolutely sterile   
   environment -- completely devoid of any living thing -- and under   
   the strictest laboratory conditions they turned it into life...   
      
   What would this prove?   
      
   No, it wouldn't prove that aabiogenesis happened. It wouldn't prove   
   that life ever spontaneously formed on earth. Nope. What it would   
   prove is...   
      
   It would prove that CREATIONISM is possible!  In fact, it would be   
   an example of creationism!   
      
   If scientists ever coaxed non living material into spontaneously   
   generating life (something that has never happened) it would be an   
   example of an intelligence creating life by design.
