Evolution by random events can be shown repeatedly in any competent biological laboratory.

Bert. Let's take a step back here! I've yet to see an artificially created living cell formed from a pool of random chemicals even if they are organic. Any primitive organism needs to be able to metabolise and at the same time be able to reproduce itself. There is certainly an element of spontaneity in this, which can be reflected in a very low order of probability.
