I think I've already said we don't yet know the means by which it happened.

Well, do you really mind if someone tries a different approach to see what they can turn up? Or do you really expect it will/must be a Darwinist who comes up with that "Eureka!" moment?

There is nothing wrong with exploring alternative explanations for the ultimate origins of life.

Give us an example of what you mean by trying. As a general rule, science proceeds by speculating about possible steps in a natural chain of causation, then seeking to demonstrate that each step is possible.

Demonstrating that synthetic assembly of organic compounds is possible is irrelevant to the question of whether natural assembly is possible. We can make petroleum from corn, but that says nothing about how underground oil was formed.
