hi aharvey,
Some of the philosophy journals will deal with this stuff. Here's a recent example from
Biology and Philosophy:

The argument from biogenesis: Probabilities against a natural origin of life
R. C. Carrier(1)
(1) Columbia University, USA
Abstract No evidence exists that the accidental origin of life is too improbable to have occurred naturally, but there are numerous attempts to argue so. Dizzying statistics are cited to show that a god had to be responsible. This paper identifies the Argument from Biogenesis, then explains why all these arguments so far fail, and what would actually have to be done to make such an argument succeed. Describes seven general types of error, with examples. Includes a table of forty-seven statistics used by over twenty authors to date.
