Christianity, for instance, is backed by the testimony of millions whose lives objectively changed for the better by accepting its precepts. Those who followed these precepts have accomplished objectively beneficial things.

Skipping over any discussion of "objectively", wouldn't the Muslims say the same thing? Or Jews? Or Buddhists? Or Hindi? Or Jans? Or Shintoists? Or Taoists?

And would you include the Moonies, Jonestown, or David Koresh's little sect in your sweeping embrace of Christianity's successes?

And each and every one of them is more rational than undirected abiogenesis.

Why not Charles Manson, too? He claimed to be Christ. Claiming oneself to be the the Messiah pretty much eliminates one from having any claim on being a disciple of the Lord Jesus.
