Don't know. theoretical physicists are still debating the origin of
matter and energy, When they figure that one out I may have a more of
a concrete answer.

Have you seen otherwise? Life from life can be demonstrated with the
scientific method. With Probability, that would be a 1. seen it has
been done and is still being done... But Abiogenesis just doesn't fit
the math nor Scientific method.

Yet we're here. Ergo the probability of life arising from non-life is

No it is not. A creationist, which I am not, can say a an old man
critter snap us into being and then reply: "Yet we're here. Ergo the
probability of life arising from Magic is exactly 1.

There is nothing tangible with creation and nothing tangible with
abiogenesis.

I don't believe in Magic. I do believe in Clarke's third law.

That doesn't matter, even a creationist reading the most strict version
of the bible has to accept abiogenesis. It's in black and white. God
picked up a handful of mud and breathed life into it. If that doesn't
qualify nothing will.
