As a science it has fallen. As a faith, well, anything can be taken as a faith. You can even claim the universe is resting on the back of cosmic turtles. The odds are almost the same as abiogenesis.

Kindly provide me with the State-Space, and the selection critera of the argument which has caused the downfall of abiogenesis, so that I can duplicate the calculation of the odds, and evaluate the likelihood of its assumptions. When a scientific theory falls, it generally falls on the basis of technically detailed scientific arguments, and I generally notice them in "Nature" and "Science News". This one slipped by me. Kindly remedy that omission, I will calculate the odds and get back to you.

If abiogenesis has a scientific basis why are you comparing it to divine intervention? Personally, I consider a belief in God to be faith, as I do a belief in abiogenesis.

Now, God's existance should be considered axiomatic since our culture and values are based on this belief. But that still doesn't make it science.
