Yeah, I know they'll use the same old arguments. I'm saying, they sound less and less convincing.
If this experiment progresses to the point where the results are generally accepted as life coming from non-living substance, even if you can point to the Bible and say "it doesn't contradict this", sure, but that's beside the point. God's not doing it now, we are, and it would be a tough argument to sell that God is intervening, invisibly, to produce a scientific result which is going to weaken faith in him for many people.
