        That's not a "test," that's an unsupported hypothesis. When
human beings take raw atoms and craft something living from them, the
response from the ID side will be, "See? It took real thinking and
design to make it happen."

        Since either failure or success leads to the same conclusion,
the test is not useful for showing the validity of the conclusion. Try
again.
