Miller-Urey lightning making amino acids" argument - which the evolutionary materials rely upon as their argument for how life began

You apparently don't know however that evolution theory is about evolution of species and not the origins of life.

As an organic chemist, describe for me the chemical processes involved in the Biblical creation. Did God use the laws of physics, or did He use magic?

And you apparently can't read. Because if you could, you would have noticed that I didn't say that abiogenesis was evolution per se, but rather that abiogenesis is the proposed mechanism which evolutionary materialists use to explain the origins of life.

That being said, as DaveLoneRanger pointed out, the "abiogenesis is not evolution" argument is a red herring, and nothing more. While not dealing with natural selection in and of itself, abiogenesis is a materialist proposition for the origin of life, which puts it within the greater framework of "evolution" as the term is generally used in everyday parliance.

I don't have to because God's method of creation is outside the direct competence of science to address - something which I've never denied. Of course, so is the "billions and billions of years" hypothesis of the evolutionists - science can no more reproduce that through experimentation than it can God's act of creation. NEITHER are "science" in the basic sense of the term.

One thing that organic chemistry does do, however, is falsify the various materialistic abiogenetic theories which evolutionists have floated so as to provide a non-supernatural origin of life. That IS science.
