You really don't understand atheism at all.
Atheists don't want evidence for god NOW, or indeed at any other time. We don't believe in god, and we don't need or want evidence for him- period.
The 'mysteries' of god that you refer to aren't mysteries that we are even slightly interested in. They're mysteries that we don't believe exist.
There are, of course, mysteries in the universe. These are scientific mysteries, and atheists generally are very interested in them (I know I am). They are mysteries that are solved incrementally, by patient observation and careful theorizing. God has no place whatsoever in the solutions to these mysteries.
You seem to be thinking that we atheists are somehow impatient would-be theists. We're nothing of the sort. We really don't believe in god, and we don't think that any of the arguments that theists put forward for his existence are remotely credible. Furthermore, there are strong arguments that point towards the whole concept of 'god' being incoherent, indicating that god not only doesn't exist but can't exist, even in theory.
Your 'argument from abiogenesis' is a case in point. Its completely mis-informed re. the actual science, and riddled with fallacies, many of which we've pointed out to you. In short, its intellectual garbage.
If you want to convince anyone here that your imaginary friend might exist, you're going to have to do an awful lot better than this.
He who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.
