A miracle would be if abiogenesis occurred in an environment hostile to organic chemistry. For the early Earth the correct answer is we still don’t know how it happened, although there are more plausible explanations than a miracle.

And just why is that? Does you really hold that any known organic environment is hostile to life arising by unintelligent naturalistic means so that the odds against it occurring are astronomical? Or that a miracle must be contrary to any laws of nature?

For the early Earth the correct answer is we still don’t know how it happened, .

But you do know it cannot be miraculous? Why must this be the case?

although there are more plausible explanations than a miracle

And just what "plausible," reasonable, valid and truthful explanations can your provide which warrant them being preferred over supernatural intervention?

Also, do you claim to be a Christian? When and how were you born again?

It wasn't a miracle as it was planned and, yes, we do know how it happened. It's simply that we don't wish to acknowledge the obvious fact and search for others. The existence of life is just one of many proofs of the existence of God if people were objective and rational.

There are, after all, many ways to make an idol and claim it is what created us. Claiming to be wise, we become fools.
