Good try, but this observation fails to support proposition 2.
Aaactually, yes it did. It proved the chemical origin of life.
It did not, no chemical process conducted in the laboratory ever resulted in the coming into existence of life. Miller-Urey demonstrated that under certain conditions amino acids could form(and it is now believed they got the conditions of early earth wrong).
But suppose a chemical process is done in the laboratory that results in life. All that proves is that life can come into existence under the supervision of intellects within a laboratory. It does not prove that life can come into existence without intellects. To prove that life can come into existence without intellects you need to observe the reaction you created happening in the laboratory....outside the laboratory in conditions nature established.
I'm not even asking you to reach that bar. I am just asking you to show me an observation of an evolutionary system coming into existence which does not require intellect.
