So, we have this gap, "how did life get here?". Instead of donning your lab coat and thinking cap and figuring it out, you say "Ill just belive what this dusty 'ol book says."
By automatically donning your lab coat your are making the presumption that a naturalistic origin of life must exist. You are pre-disposed to thinking that way and are thus likely to arrive at the basis of some naturalistic theory or other. All that has been done is to wind-up the same old naturalistic clockwork toy and set it further back down the same old track. It will arrive at the same destination by another means.
you say "Ill just belive what this dusty 'ol book says."
An patent oversimplification which only serves to underline your prior commitment to restricting the search to science. Scientism in other words...
The bible is neither dusty (it gets read too much for dust to gather), nor old (something that is timeless doesn't age)

"Jesus wept" John 11:35. It's the shortest verse in the Bible. What caused him to weep? Anothers death....

How do we go about looking for a supernatural means then?
There is most certainly the potential for a logical, rational approach to this question. But it will have to wait. It's Friday, it's just past 6. My dinner is due on the table at 8 and the interim will be spent over a couple of pints of Guinness
Good weekend EvC-ers
(ps: Crashfrog where are you? This is a development of that wunder-question you once posed)
