Also the experiment was controlled by an intelligent scientist.
No abiogenesis there.
No it wasn't controlled at all; that was the whole point. They set up essentially a reconstruction based on what was known of the primitive Earth atmospheric conditions, then let the experiment run itself. Any outside interference would totally invalidate the test.
That they managed to produce any amino acids at all, totally spontaneously, is exactly the sort of thing you have been saying is impossible all along.
Now, you can do what you're going to and stick your fingers in your ears and scream "Baby Jesus make the bad thoughts go away!" but you won't change the facts.
There was something that made sparks. There was a trap to remove product as it was being made. The gasses used in the experiment were meant to produce product. Nobody knows what the gas composition of early earth was. That is just an assumption.
It was controlled.
I never said that amino acids could not be produced.
I said that they do not form long chains on their own of the order of 100,000 amino acids simultaneously.
