One thing these “ingredients of life” stories never seem to explain is how these “ingredient of life” molecules thrash about at random and just happen to form up in the configuration of even the simplest of single-cell creatures, complete with the means to acquire energy from their environment, somehow magically transitioning from “dead” to “alive”, then acquiring and matabolizing energy, and split to reproduce, with the two halves then growing back to the size their “parent” cell was before the split.

It's because we don't yet know. If we knew how to create life, we'd be doing it in laboratories. For some, it's much easier to say "God did it" and put the matter to rest. Others would like to try to figure it out, --something many in the first group find offensive.
