. Do you see the people of that time understanding the scientific mechanisms used that allowed for life to come in existence as it is now?

What do you believe those mechanisms are? In other words, what theory for the origins of life do you subscibe to? The reason I ask is that, as I posted earlier, it is my understanding that there have been half a dozen or so theories put forth in the last 50 years to account for a naturalistic origin of life but all have pretty much fallen out of favor. I am not flaming here, I am actually really interested.

To the widely accepted theory of evolution. The origin of all life? As in a beginning point? Abiogenesis-related? I think that eventually will be discovered. I subscribe to no particular theory there because I have yet to read enough on the various theories surrounding abiogenesis. For now, I will accept that eventually there will be a naturalistic explanation, just as there is to other processes in this world.
