There is no generally accepted, scientific origin-of-life theory.
No such theory is a scientific fact. I am not sure what my previous
sentence is supposed to mean but if "fact" = "true," then there is
no OOL theory that is "true." For that matter, there is no scientific
theory of any kind that is "true."
Dembski's approach to science is a very dubious one. He doesn't
propose hypotheses and then seek to verify them. Rather, he attempts
to deduce conclusions by demonstrating that all alternative hypotheses
are effectively impossible. And he claims that his conclusions are
never wrong (i.e., no false positives). This isn't science and it
doesn't work.
