You are living somewhere in a dream world if you think science isn't poking its nose into questions of life. What about embryonic stem cell research? Science is delving into what is not its territory. Creating life is God's territory.
Well, of course it is, but I was asked about Darwinian evolutionary theory, which is not predicated on such research. Such research is generally referred to as abiogensis, not Darwinian evolutionary theory, and Darwinian Evolutionary theory is not predicated on such research.
What about embryonic stem cell research?
Stem cell research is not predicated on abiogenetic research either.

The church used to say similar things about compass needles, ameliorating the pain of surgery or childbirth, women owning property and anti-slavery movements. I think I'll consult other sources that have a history of displaying higher moral standards.
...and, at any rate, so what? Even if science does come up with a pursuasive naturalistic explanation for life's origins, that still doesn't make science and God duking it out for the prize. A naturalistic explanation does not rule out God as the ultimate cause of it.
