Amino acids are readily produced in laboratories simulating early conditions on Earth. DNA or RNA, however, no. That requires a lot of evolution. The simple development of photosynthesis was a milestone in evolution. So was sex. However that does not preclude that intelligent life such as our own is not divinely inspired. There is no methodology in the theory of evolution that allows creatures to exceed only what is needed for basic survival.
But then also, when you write ‘intelligent life such as our own,’ are you sure we qualify as intelligent life? We elected Barack H. Obama president. (Yuk! Yuk! Yuk!)
