Biblical skepticism of the Origin of Life

I think I understand why @thoughtful refuses to believe living matter could arise from inanimate matter. Its because it would make God seem irrelevant and she is scared of that. We can point out the natural causes of many aspects of the natural world that were once thought to have supernatural causes and that has made supernatural explanations less reliable (if not totally ‘useless’) to science. So if the origin of life is taken away from the realm of conjecture and can be shown to explicable by natural mechanisms, that would strike a heavy blow to the claims of YECs like her.

Please do not pretend to “understand” where YECs or Christians are coming from if you are a sworn unbeliever. Looking in from your worldview, which does not include the supernatural, you will almost always be guaranteed to miss something you do not understand. And that something usually turns out to be the most important part of the equation.
