The above statement is obvious to anyone who has read about evolution.

Currently, that's true, but of course various scientists are busy working
on the "first life forms" problem as well.

I don't see why you worry about science. If someone came out tomorrow with
a knockout proof that if you take a certain mix of chemicals, and process
it in a certain way, then life will pop out ... well so what? This
demonstration doesn't deny that God may very well have used exactly that
mechanism to create life in the first place.

In fact, to create a coherent universe where humans can explore, the above
is EXACTLY what God would have done. If you are omnipotent, why make a
bunch of chemicals then add some magic to make life, when you could simply
design the chemicals so that under certain conditions life forms would be
created?
