This is part of the testimony of Andy Ellington to the Texas school board regarding science textbooks (the whole thing is available here). Ellington further addresses the Discovery Institute's lies/evasions/distortions about the experiments here.“Previously, I testified on the validity of the experiments carried out by Stanley Miller, the so-called Miller-Urey experiments that show that biological materials can be created by gas discharge experiments. The Discovery Institute had chosen to highlight these experiments as a false “Icon of Evolution,” something that the scientists supposedly got wrong. Once this was brought to my attention, I wrote and published a refutation, “Gas, Discharge, and the Discovery Institute,” available via the NCSE. To my knowledge, the facts in this article have not been countered by the Discovery Institute."
I don't now if anybody has already said it, but if we did agree with the principle that biological life always and only comes from biological life, then god wouldn't be able to create life. In fact life would have to have existed forever.The Law of Biogenesis
Spontaneous generation (the emergence of life from nonliving matter) has never been observed. All observations have shown that life comes only from life. This has been observed so consistently it is called the law of biogenesis. The theory of evolution conflicts with this scientific law when claiming that life came from nonliving matter through natural processes
