evidence

But just because inorganic matter is found in our bodies is that considered good evidence?

I don't think it is. The processes are very different.

However, a point that can be taken from that is there is no reason to think that abiogeneisis can't occur. That is, there is a smooth connection from non living things, through things which aren't alive but act like it a bit to really liveing things.

Also just because we don't know something is, historically, a reallly , really bad reason for ascribing it to a god. So far it has always turned out to be a wrong idea. If I was at all religious I sure wouldn't want to hang my beliefs on that one.

Not abiogenesis

I agree with Crashfrog's post that anytime a living creature incorporates nonliving matter into its structure abiogenesis occurs

I would have to strongly disagree. That is a misuse of the term 'abiogenesis'. As Crash noted it is an interesting point of view but it is not what abiogenesis means.

(and as a minor nitpick, in this forum, you are misusing the word 'miraculous' too.

)

Think about it

Also,
If there was no or little oxygen in the early Earth atmosphere, then what would protect the amino acids and the potential proteins from UV light (oxygen produces ozone)?

Some questions should be left up to the reader, so to speak. This one is definitly not "rocket science". Why don't you think it over for a few minutes and suggest a couple of reasonable answers for yourself?
