That is a misrepresentation of the actual conflict.
More accurately it is about the possibility of intelligent design.
As stated elesewhwere, even doofus Dawkins stated clearly that "...the only realistic possibility for abiogenesis is an alien origin...
Simply another way of saying the same thing.
Dawkins didn’t allow for a designer for life in the universe. He said that if you allow for extraterrestrial design for life on earth, then that designer would have had to have a natural origin.
The Hallmark of the ID movement is mking either unsupported statements and calling them facts.
