These things add up. Perhaps a disclaimer that Scientists are only talking from a strictly naturalistic perspective might be in order.
I have met too many people who think Scientists have established that life arose by natural means. When probed, they usually point to the urey miller experiment they learnt in school or some article like the one being discussed now.
If honesty in communication is a priority, then all prior philosophical/metaphysical commitments should be made clear.
Or there will always be pushback of this kind.
