I would suggest you not bother yourself with this. It seems that it's an unanswerable question at this point in time and it's very likely that this is not a question we'll ever be able to answer. And, quite honestly, does a lack of an explanation of the origins of life suggest anything about a god? If so, why? Because some people say that it does?
This is one of the main problems I have with this whole god idea. Where does it come from? A book? So because a book tells people something they believe it? What about Harry Potter? Does he exist because someone wrote it in a book?
If no one ever thought of the concept of god until 2016, would we still buy it? If it was never an idea until 2016, would any rational, intelligent person even think about it twice?
I think not.

“Love is the only bow on Life’s dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher.
It is the air and light of every heart – builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody – for music is the voice of love.
Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.” - Robert. G. Ingersoll
