What beliefs would we consider reasonable for a self proclaimed Christian to hold?

Well I don't think anybody is suggesting that the protocell is a complex as modern cells, you can read people like Chen and Szostak on that one.

But I know creationists don't like actual research and aren't happy without total certainty. Life's a biatch.

There's no such thing as a simple cell, and the single cells are even more complex.
They may not have as many working parts, but they are chemically sophisticated.

Your criticism of creationists is a generalization at best.
