To qualify, my disdain is not for natural science (which is observable and repeatable) but rather for speculative science (some would call it historical science or the science of origins). If no one was there to observe it, scientifically speaking it's just speculation not science.
Innovation in all fields of study, including abiogenesis and even the empirical sciences, which leads to more discoveries and vindicated hypotheses, tend to be borne out of an informed imagination. Unscientific conclusions are reached when the imagination frees itself from the evidence, forcing into it an interpretation that only marginally succeeds to account for all the given data, rather than allowing the evidence to conform and inform the imagination, which strives to leave nothing unaccounted for.
