All attempts to create an origin of life experiment start with an intelligent carefully controlled environment............and have failed.
That's the real model for creating life that I see.

The initial origin of life is not really a component of evolutionary biology, its more in the realm of bio-chemistry.
I'm not sure there have been any serious experiments attempting to replicate the origin of life on earth in any of the ways it has been believed to have happened. Many experiments have tested components of it. The reason for not replicating the whole shebang is pretty simple - you'd need a lab the size of the earth in which you recreated the primordial atmosphere. If you could do this, I suspect you'd get your replication in a fairly "short" time, like maybe a hundred million years.
