Scientifically should not they reply, " We don't know" and leave it at that?

Here's another question, Suppose that scientists manage to create life in the laboratory. What would that prove, other than intelligence was required to create life? Would such laboratory-created life have any bearing on our understanding of how life actually began, historically?
Evolutionists should definitely answer, "We don't know," when asked about the origin of life. That is completely outside of the theory.

As for your second question, it would prove sufficiency but not necessity. No new knowledge would necessarily result as to what actually happened.

For the comments that I snipped, I agree with you.
