People who believe this rubbish are ignorant or morons or more likely a combination of the two.
of course this still means abiogenesis and evolution theory is science only partly because both can involve reproducible experiments.
Just one example of reproducible experiments to help give scientific clues to how abiogenesis may have happened;

all these experiments are reproducible. Such experiments are required for studying abiogenesis although not evolution since evolution can be directly observed in the natural world as it happens although experiments for studying evolution do still happen to add significantly to the weight of evidence for it.
Note; contrary to what I noticed you and some others seem to repeatedly imply in a few previous posts, there being a scientific theory of a natural precess that requires reproducible experiments doesn't logically imply that those reproducible experiments must necessarily reproduce the individual events that have already occurred in that natural process nor the natural process itself -only the
experiment ITSELF has to be reproducible to be "reproducible" although the experiment has also to be deigned give clues to what may being going on in the natural process else it would not be a relevant experiment to the theory.
If you deny this, explain to us how one logically follows from the other and exactly where is the contradiction of one not logically following from the other.....
