I know you're a busy gal, but no time for a short snort?

At least as much as there is for a magical creation.

Its a flat out lazy belief. In times past it was understandable to attribute natural phenomena that humans didn't understand to God/Supernatural because we didn't have widespread education and scientific process. Nowadays though, its inexcusable. If I don't know how a chair is made that doesn't mean I think God made it just because I don't know the answer.

Of course, evidence (not proof) of non-life becoming life is that there is life now, and evidence for it becomes simpler and scarcer the further back you look in the geological record, and if you go far enough back, the Earth was in a state where life was probably impossible. There is also evidence that various components of life can arise naturally, and various steps that are hypothesized as being likely in the formation of life are possible. And there's also the fact that the leading "competition" to the idea of abiogenesis is "maybe it was magic!"
