Well, if electricity is all we need, lets recreate the early "primordial soup" environment it in a laboratory. Lets see if we can get life form from non-living material. Or at least some basic building blocks that stay intact for a while.

Maybe so but, how did the first crucial molcules form that started life to begin with?

Without oxygen the basic building blocks, such as amino acids (which by the way has to be "left handed" to be viable) would break down because UV ray and other damaging solar rays would come in unhindered.

And if there were oxygen in the early atmosphere, the basic molecule would be oxydized and destroyed faster then it can be formed. Hince, the anti-oxi-food craze we have now. :)

Lets compare apple to apples. Technology requires total human intervention. Pure evolution must happen naturally, without human influence.
