While our current knowledge certainly has limits and current technology puts limits on our methodology and how far we can explore, the subjects of abiogenesis and the origin of the universe are not intrinsically outside science. If it happened in physical reality then we should be able to use science to analyze it.
And when science cannot provide an answer?
Then we need to look and understand why. Perhaps we are missing some fundamental understanding somewhere, such as when people bought into the idea of "ether" that planets moved through. Or perhaps it is due to some technological limitation. We don't just throw our hands up in defeat, we keep trying. We are only now beginning to understand the world around us and to demand immediate answers is illogical. This takes time.
But these things are not fundamentally outside the scope of science. Just because we don't have an answer yet does not mean there is not one. And with a lot of the missing bits in our knowledge the building blocks of understanding already exist within current scientific knowledge.
