I know that my grasp of chemistry is lacking but could we really be so far along in that field as to reasonably jump from "we don't yet understand the chemistry of abiogenesis" to "it just isn't impossible".-My grasp of mathematics is better but I don't see how it is possible to make any meaningful statistical analysis of a phenomenon for which we have exactly one data point, the earth.-I would like to know how we got here. It would be fascinating to find that out. But for me personally, not much rides on it. I can't think of any circumstance under which witch craft or a creator god would become appealing hypotheses for understanding the origins of life. Of course I can't demonstrate that but why worry? How hard should we work to rule out every origins myth we find? I'm content to assume there is a natural explanation for the natural world even before the details are completely understood.
