Yes, we know you didn’t see it but why you stopped at biochemical sloshing in a warm sea? Why not keep on going and going till you find the beginning and what started it all?
Well, you know that one. Biochemicals, water, oxygen and heavy elements exist throughout the universe (debris of exploding stars), stars and planets formed from inbterstellar gas and dust, the big bang, the basic 'stuff' out of which the event collated, ;stuff' being nothingness with 'potential', value or 'information'. as it is put in various ways. I think of it as nothing with the ability to act like something. e.g particles.
It's hypothetical but with some science to back it up, and a lot better than a complex one -off being that existed for no reason and didn't need to come from anywhere doing magic and which cannot actually be found anywhere but in a od book so full of mistakes and tosh that it would look just like the guesswork of ancient writers, if we weren't assured it was all true, cover to cover.

How about stopping at "We don't really know?" A lot less stress on the spleen.
Because we see purpose when there is none. A creaking floor board could be a thief, a falling branch a dangerous animal in the bush. We make these mistakes all the time because if we are wrong, we lose nothing. If we are correct, we react quicker (before our slower, rational brains try to find out what the noise was). As I said earlier, it is natural to see purpose, whether it exists or not.
I haven’t seen any evidence that has shaken my belief in a creator. All I’ve seen is that science explains what has happened since the Big Bang. I do not disagree with that. What I haven’t seen is another logical option for how life began.
Life is just chemistry.
A god making flawed people because it was so inept as to leave a dangerous tree (and a lying serpent) makes no sense, especially if your god is meant to be all knowing.
