well, there's a difference between explaining and verifying
and we have no specimen of any original living organisms
with and without ATPSynthase, so, we cannot watch ATPSynthase
develop in an organism where it wasn't present, and we also
cannot design a physical experiment to mimic this unknown process,
inasmuch as it _is_ said to develop by accidental rewrites and
no specific mechanistic description can be offered.
so, to say that ATPSynthase arose by gradual, random rewrites
of existing genetic materials in some primordial organism
is what one may refer to as "non-falsifiable"
that makes gradual random mutation a crummy theory,
but, we cannot go back and watch any intelligent designer manufacture
living creatures either, we seem to be stuck in the middle here.
so, the problem does fall to this again;

one problem is, that, before there are any living creatures
the only natural forces present are like, gravity and electromagnetism
and these living creatures NOW use DNA as coded instruction sets
to replicate themselves, and so, one would have to insist that gravity
and electromagnetism alone behaved like a coded set of instructions,
that gravity and electromagnetism behaved -as- a living cell behaves,
to bring about the first living organism whereupon, this unknowable
mechanism simply disappears into the shadows and all new life arises
from these newly formed coded instruction sets.
and, sad to say, gravity and electromagnetism do not,
together, constitute a life replicating mechanism,
nor a coded set of instructions.
something has to put the original pieces in place properly
and some people suggest that THIS, IS an evidence
of conscious interference in the material world
by some unseen hand.
The fact that coded instruction sets appear

i don't see a problem in allowing school children to hear things like this.
didn't mean to run on, but it's hard to keep it short.
