We don't have to find the specific and correct historical process that led to life. All we have to do is demonstrate that natural processes are sufficient.

From this it is apparent your interest is not in scientific accuracy, but in supporting a naturalistic philosophy. Your advice about "thinking fist" would be better spent on yourself.

I have long since stopped worring about what you think of me, or what you think of anything. You have absolutely no concept of what science is or does, and no interest in learning.

Science is naturalistic because it is impossible for it to be otherwise. Problems that are outside the scope of naturalism are outside the scope of science.

I have no idea why people want to claim that theological ideas or religious history can be studied or confirmed by science. I can only assume that science has acquired some prestige over the centuries, an religion would like some of it to rub off.

This is a waste of time. Science will never answer the question of why existence exists, or what the attributes and actions of God might be.

Religious people have nothing to gain and much to lose by pinning their faith on things that must be verified by science.

You would know this if you ever listened to the words of Jesus. His words are about being kind and generous and loving, not about spewing legalistic theological mumbo-jumbo.
