The Wrath of the Intelligent Designer - any challenges?

Here, for the appalled, is a spell-corrected version of my previous 
post.

  <<However, one can start mid-stream: by explaining the origin of life 
 from the inanimate universe from which it emerged Science has not yet 
been able to accomplish this. If science is able to achieve this, the 
proof that validates the theory will be the creation of life "in the 
test tube" from inanimate building blocks. >> 
  
  If and when life is created, it will certainly be a blow to religion. 
The absence of that occurrence is proof conclusive of nothing. 
  
  <<Such an accomplishment, however, would lend more evidence to 
Intelligent Design -->> 
  
You capitalize Intelligent Design, meaning you intend the current 
"thesis." What science may or may not do in some future lab has nothing 
to do with that. 
  
  <<--than to an explanation based on "randomness," since the life so 
produced would be an artifact of culture ...>> 
  
  And here, for anyone reading this far, is the feebleness of your 
argument. The creation of life might be, in the limited and perverse 
sense your argument requires, a cultural artifact. It would also be a 
triumph of scientific method and, for those for whom it mattered, a 
final banishing of the primitive thinking religion endorses. 
  
  <<and no one argues convincingly that cultural artifacts are anything 
but the result of intelligent design, or at least, a hybridization of 
intelligent design and chance.>> 
  
  The "cultural artifact" in this specious and absurd argument being the 
creation of life.
