There is strong evidence that there was no biological life before the Hadean period. For much of the time before that, life as we know it would be impossible. Once life as we know it became possible, we see the beginnings of fossil evidence for single-celled organisms. Life began, somehow. How does that 'violate reality'?

Your cell phone won't last forever, genius. If we find a way to retard aging indefinitely, how will that affect your religious beliefs? I suspect not at all and the 'keep someone alive indefinitely' is just a red herring.

A fact is something known to be true. Not everything that is true is a fact. It is a fact that coelacanths still exist. It was true that they were real before we knew it for a fact.
Abiogenesis in the biological sense is a hypothesis that is difficult to test. It meets all the requirements for a hypothesis in that it is a plausible explanation that fits what we already know to be true and there are no known mechanisms that would prevent it from being true.
But it is a fact that at one point there was no life on earth, that it must have started somehow, and the earliest detectable organisms were single-celled.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
