I have explained that we have not been able to demonstrate organic life forming from inorganic material.

Not entirely true.
We
have produced amino acids from inorganic material.
Stanley Miller and Harold Urey used water vapor, methane, hydrogen, and ammonia (along with an electrical spark) to show that organic molecules (e.g. amino acids) could form spontaneously. After Miller died in 2007 it was shown that well over 20 amino acids were produced in his experiment - many more than occur naturally.
This gives great weight to the Heterotroph Hypothesis.
