"Why is it science to believe in the magic of spontaneous life when that belief is just a matter of faith."

Abiogenesis is not *spontaneous life*, unless by spontaneous you mean a few hundred million years.

"There is not proof of spontaneous life and there is no proof that animals spontaneously turn into other species."

Nobody says that animals spontaneously turn into other species. That isn't even close to an accurate description of evolution.

"Interestingly with few exceptions you can't take the DNA from one species and put it into the cell of a different species and have a viable cell."

Scientists have made trans-species organisms already. The DNA in a bacteria is the same(for the most part) as ours.
