There could be numerous other natural options.

Why is that relevant?
​
Just because a natural option has not been thought of yet doesn't mean a natural option doesn't exist.

Wasn't it your implication that because you or any of us, might not be able to think of other natural options for how life could have arisen, that it somehow follows that there must be a supernatural cause?

Sure we do.
​
We can discuss why you feel the need to fill the gap in knowledge with "Godidit" and stop looking for a solution instead of leaving it at "we don't know", and continue working on the solution.
​
Put another way, are you saying that, by definition, anything about the natural world that we do not currently understand, or may never understand, must have a supernatural cause?
