"In 1953, Miller showed that electric sparks in a primitive atmosphere made amino acids, the building blocks of proteins."

Here are the problems I see with claiming this study 'proves' that life came from non-life all by itself.

There was an intelligence involved in gathering the materials together into a presumed 'privitive' atmosphere. In other words, all the right materials were gathered and put in a closed, controlled environment. This does more to prove that an intelligence had to be involved in creating life than to prove that one was not necessary.

I'm curious as to where Dr. Miller thinks 'electrical sparks' came from in a primoridal environment. Lightening? Sorry, but the voltage in lightening is MUCH more powerful than the sparks Dr. Miller applied to his recipe for primordial soup.

Show me the chaotic environment that generates primordial soup that then spontaneously generates life, then I'll be impressed.

Your objection applies to all man-made experiments, which will always lead you to the conclusion that no matter what we do in the lab proves -- in your words -- "that an intelligence had to be involved in creating" [presumably] the world.

No, you won't be impressed. To you, such a demonstration by man would only prove "that an intelligence had to be involved in creating" the world.
