Also, are these same scientists trying to seek answers by plugging in their theories because they cannot conceive that God did it?

Plugging the holes of understanding with the latest and most popular "scientific theory" is the same error as a theologist would make if he attributed everything unexplained or even hard to understand, to God.

TF, lets not confuse speculation with Scientific Theories. Speculation, so long as it is testable, is part of the scientific process. But until that speculation is turned into a large body of confirmed hypothesis that construct a large, explanatory body of knowledge that can be used to make predictions, it not a theory. The current body of knowledge on abiogenesis does not meet this definition, which is why there is no "Theory of Abiogenesis". Still, we've made some progress on the subject such as developing an understanding of the development of long proteins, and the development of complex molecules in various atmospheres, oceans, and even in space. Sure will still don't know, but that doesn't not justify the insertion of God, or any other mechanism for which we have no evidence.

You didn't use logic or reason to get into this opinion, I cannot use logic or reason to get you out of it.
