>>>Due to information complexity and interdependence, no living organism can ever spontaneously arise from lifeless matter which exists in a naturally occurring state, but life can be created. This statement can be tested and falsified.

This is much like the test for ID proposed by both Professors Behe and Minnich to grow the bacterial flagellum in the laboratory. In the trial, Professor Behe conceded that the proposed test could not approximate real world conditions and even if it could, Professor Minnich admitted that it would merely be a test of evolution, not design.

Then their logic is flawed.

Evolution does not propose how life originated. I cannot see how creating life would have any bearing on evolutionary theory.

If "real world conditions" alone can result in spontaneously arising life forms, then my hypothesis is disproved. It will not demonstrate that the first life on this planet was not created, but it will support the idea that it did not need to be created by intelligent intervention.

Again, my hypothesis is testable and falsifiable. It has not been supported by testing yet, so it is a hypothesis rather than a theory.

But it does meet the minimal qualification of being scientific. No other proposal explaining the origin of life makes this claim.
