Testable? Okay, then please explain to me how life just springs from nothing. Why has man not been able to duplicate this random process? Do you realize how complex DNA is? Apparently not.

Try this thread

In science, one neve knows the destination, but you can observe trends. The trend, for several hundred years now, is that naturalistic explanatations continue to grow in power. Every time someone declares something to be irreducibly complex, it gets reduced.

As for whether you can "explain" the origin of life through laboratory experiments -- show me the difference between water freezing in your home freezer and water freezing in a northern lake.

Who do you think you are talking to - some idiotic dimwit? I want to know the SCIENTIFIC explanation for the origin of life. Since you said life comes form non-life, and you believe it so dogmatically, you are obligated to back that up with evidence. Let's have it. I don't want to hear any guesses or "trends" or speculation - I want evidence. Anyone can guess. What is a "trend"?

naturalistic trends grow in power? Hahahaha. "Majority rules" doesn't apply to science! The majority is often wrong! Give me the evidence for your statement.

I visited the thread and it is worthless. Scientists create an enzyme and conclude that life comes from non-life? hahaha. That's a leap! Do you know how many enzymes there are in DNA? Amino Acids? Do you know how complex a protein molecule is? One enzyme! Furthermore, scientists created it! Were scientists around long ago to create the first one? Nope - it formed by chance remember? This whole experiment is fraught with assumptions and preconceived bias.
