Your use of punctuation above seems to indicate the test was the failure
of science to re-create life in the lab, coupled with not being able to
decribe every step of evolution. If so this is not a test of ID. If that
is not what you were implying, just what test has ID passed?

The ease which you are able to say that the accidental origin of life
could be duplicated in the lab in no way means that the actual
experiment is that easy. I can just as easily challenge you to prove god
exists by saying it's easy, just go to the third heaven and knock on the
door. The fact that you haven't done this easy thing means he doesn't
exist. Or if you suscribe to the alien designer, just go to his home
planet and ask him to come here to explain it all to us. The fact that
you haven't done this easy thing means he doesn't exist, so ID is
therefore disproved. Hey, this science thing is easier than i thought.
