I have experience with physical laws and gained knowledge from those experiences. I know of the physical laws that govern the intermediate steps in abiogenesis, namely chemisty. I don't have any experiences with a god. In fact, I have experience that suggest no such being exist. Therefore, I believe abiogenesis is the best explanation for how life came to be on Earth.
