All abiogenesis theories are so speculative as to be ridiculous.
My grandfather was born in south Russia in the 1880s. In his late teens, he served in the German Army. In 1907, he passed through the port of Hamburg on his way to Canada. He died here in Saskatchewan in 1939.
The exact pathway that he took to get from there to here is highly speculative. I've given you all of the details that I know for sure. But there is no question that there
was a pathway. The only ridiculous conclusion would be that "you can't get here from there".
It's the same with abiogenesis. We don't know exactly how it happened but we do know that it happened because at one time there was no life and now there is life. Abiogeneis did happen, even if it happened by your invisible friend's magical poofing.
We managed to figure out the natural means by which the planets move and by which the rocks were formed. It would be ridiculous to decide ahead of time that we can't figure out the natural means by which life originated and evolved.
