"One of the great myths of our time is the idea that undirected process could somehow be responsible for turning dead chemicals into all the complexity of living things. The current state of abiogenesis is summarized by Klause Dose:

More than thirty years of experimentation on the origin of life in the fields of chemical and molecular evolution have led to a better perception of the immensity of the problem of the origin of life on Earth rather than to its solution. At present all discussions on principle theories and experiments in the field end in stalemate or in a confession of ignorance."

Until the Darwinian fundamentalists can demonstrate a "natural" way to significantly reverse entropy, they should bow to the statisticians.

I am not saying that a natural process won't eventually be discovered, but as of today the idea that life began through a random process is as ludicrous as an earth centered solar system.

And please spare me any reference to the Miller/Urey sham.
I am not a religious person, and don't want biblical creationism taught in school, but I do wish the scientific community would stop being so dogmatic in its support of Darwinian evolutionary science. Darwin did a splendid job of explaining some of the evolutionary process, but to extrapolate this theory to all aspects of this process is an exercise in blind faith.

Which might be relevant if the theory of evolution made any claims about abiogenesis.

This statement of yours shows you have no idea what you are talking about. Inside a closed system the entropy is increasing but that says nothing how parts of that system behave. Please go and read some science books about that before repeating such nonsense.

Example:
Ever thought about what happens digesting food?
The entropy in the system man-meal is growing but man has after his way back form bathroom (toilet for all non-US) a lower entropy as before - he gained energy. What's left in the bath has a much higher entropy. There your argument goes down the drain.
