We are talking about the origin of life now - hello - is that not a part of life sciences? Just because we don't know the origin of life, we can't act like life has no origin. Since science, in everybody and their mother's words, can't explain the origin of life - are we supposed to just say "O, never mind"?
Mentioning creation or a Creator is not illogical.
Yes, it is, unless you've managed to find some actual scientific evidence for that Creator.
And no, "I want there to be a Creator" doesn't count. Science doesn't deal in wishful thinking. It deals in evidence.
We are talking about the origin of life now -
No, we aren't. You are, but that's not the subject here.
Evolution doesn't address the origins of life. Only the origins of species. That's not a failing of evolution any more than astronomy's not addressing the origin of life is a failing of astronomy.
Most biology courses take a wag at abiogenesis (as distinguished from evolution) - no one is deprived.
Mentioning creation or a Creator is not illogical.
It's just not science. Do it in a comparitive religion class.
