A simpler way to look at it is this: does life exist, and if so, has it 
*always* existed?

Obviously, it exists.  Equally obviously, it did not exist prior to, say, 
the big bang.

Thus, we know that - by whatever means - abiogensis must have occurred.  
When, how, where and why?  Different topic.
