We assume that eventually a reasonable theory regarding the manner in which inorganic chemistry crossed the barrier into the organic variety will emerge. You on the other just assume that god did it and have no expectation of ever understanding how. You're fine with going without a theory forever since you assume human beings just aren't up to it.
That is not true. I do have expectations that it will indeed be proven that there is a spirit and that the body without the spirit is dead. People who have NDEs have described the silver cord mentioned in the Bible.
I suppose it would be asking too much for you to understand the difference between getting confirmation for your god-did-it assumption after you die versus having a thorough explanation for just how God created organic chemistry from inorganic chemistry (because whether you realize it or not, all the organic chemical components of life rely on the underlying relationships between inorganic compounds). Just knowing that god-did-it is not an explanation and therefore is no theory at all.
