How do I test it and how would it be falsified?

He asserts that it would be falsified if you can demonstrate that non-living matter can become organic life. He will not, however, explain why that would prove that intelligent design could not occur. He simply asserts that if intelligent design did occur then such an event is impossible, without any justification for the claim.

At least, that's what I gathered from him when I asked him about the issue.

On another thread, he is asserting that he can test his favored hypothesis, the assertion that there is no scenario for an unguided start of life. I'm saying that this is an example of a thing potentially falsifiable but not particularly supportable. As I might have come to expect by now, I'm not getting good answers on how you positively establish such a sweeping negative.
