If science is going to operate under the assumption that only what is provable IS science, it cannot prove that life originated by 'accident'.

Fortunately, science does not operate under such an assumption. In fact, the scientific method acknowledgedes that absolutely no scientific explanation can be "proven".

So we have to believe them, but not hold them to a standard of *proof*.

That sounds like a creationist's argument.
