What, specifically, do you mean by "spontaneous biological replication", and why is it impossible?

I refer to spontaneous generation or abiogenisis. It is obviously impossible. National Geographic specials notwithstanding.
ThermodynamicsRefers to the principle of increasing chaos. Chaos is evident in the biosphere if you examine the extinction rate vs the emergence of new species. Your point that ID should be left out of the public education in this country is correct. Searching for an understanding of the universe and our place in it goes on in spite of all the crap I learned in high school...(Paul Simon).

Okay. On the other hand, since the theory of evolution doesn't require abiogenesis - it works just as well if we imagine God personally placing the first primitive critters on Earth - that's not much of a critique of evolution.

Not always and not everywhere, of course - order from disorder happens all the time. All you need is a bit of energy. Around here, we get it from the big, hot thing in the daytime sky.

I dunno. At the end of the day, here we are. ;)
