Do you find it interesting that if you set out fresh bread, meat, milk, butter, or cheese, something large or microscopic or in-between will eat it?

Wouldn't happen if the lifeforms that eat these foods didn't exist.  So your question really has nothing to do with the ID vs evolution debate.

DUH!

This was exactly Vade's point in response to your complaint that "no instances of the creation of even so much as a pre-biotic soup have been observed in nature".

A "pre-biotic" soup can only form if there is nothing around to eat it; i.e. before the world, as now, is full or organisms and micro-organisms gobbling up any bit of yummy organic material left lying about. Savvy?

This was exactly my point. In a prebiotic world, nothing gets eaten. In a biotic world, what can be eaten will be eaten. With typical creationist logic, you were bludgeoning with your failure to imagine when you wondered why pre-biotic soup never forms today.

So your question really has nothing to do with the ID vs evolution debate.

So you don't want to understand the fallacy of your argument.
