Which will still not be relevant to science because science is fundamentally unequipped to say things about supernatural (by which I assume you mean immaterial) explanations.

You are trying to say that materialism is true because you deny that any other explanation is possible. That is a false argument. Science knows that there are things outside its purview which nevertheless do indeed exist, such things as conscience, art, love, etc. So just because something cannot be examined by science does not mean that it does not exist. Also, scince is quite able to determine if something is not materially possible, it can tell us for example that if you step off a 100 foot building you will definitely not fall upwards. It tells us the same thing about abiogenesis - it could not have happened. That is why you (nor anyone) can give even a scientifically viable explanation of how abiogenesis could have happened.

Holy pig drool! Can you not read at all? That is precisely NOT what I just said. I just said science is unequipped to have an opinion about materialism. In plain english which you copied, I might add. My advice? Stop. Get some sleep. Come back when you can behave with some measure of rhetorical competence and decent respect for the efforts others.
