"So is your suggestion that the mainstream scientific position -- that life itself emerged through a process of natural selection, starting from non-living chemical processes -- lacks any supportive evidence?" IS this what the moron is arguing? I see YOU could get it in one sentence. It's really just as clear as mud, isn't it? His writing is atrocious, and is suspect his thought processes are just as wooly!

"So is your suggestion that the mainstream scientific position -- that life itself emerged through a process of natural selection, starting from non-living chemical processes -- lacks any supportive evidence?" Sort of. The cosmic soup idea certainly has some merit. However, the construct might be much more basic and it does not eliminate the plausibility of involvement from an extra-universe power. It is only one of many plausible scenarios. At one time mainstream science believed that frogs spontaneously generate from mud...not to different than this idea. I simply point out that it is not scientific knowledge because it is not an observable or testable phenomenon that we know of. We can speculate about this all we want. As you noted, I conveniently separated the origin of the universe from the origin of life. We could further parse out consciousness, and again self-consciousness. These are definitely distinguishable as accomplishments to bring us to the present moment. Are they truly sequential or simultanious developments? Does consciousness exist in some other realm than in human enmeshment (Refer to my rain-drop analogy). I don't know.
