I'd say you are at least tacitly invoking the Bingo! principle: Let it cook long enough in the right soup at the right temperature with right amount of radiation and, POOF!, there it is. Only a matter of time before that happy Bingo! event happens (even though we know absolutely nothing about it. I don't know of a single principle respected by natural scientists that accounts for THAT kind of magic.
Which is exactly why scientists freely admit that very little is known about the matter. All they are doing is coming up with scenarios and conditions where they think the event
might have occured.
You argument is very close to a strawman.
But on the other hand, I don't know of a single respected principle that says "If we can't explain it right now at this moment, it must have been goddunit."
