Yet we are able to examine them after the fact, and determine, with a high level of certainty, the method of death, the type of weapon, time of death, etc, etc.
The only thing necessary to make abiogenesis more rational to believe as the source of life, as compared to a god, is that it has natural explanations for every step and does not break any laws.
The fact that we don't have the exact way it occurred on earth, does not mean we don't have a way it could have happened. There is no need to add a step in the process for 'magic'.
Humans have lots of experience with death and are in a very good position to say, "Well there's the problem....this person has an extra hole in their head....since we have seen putting extra whole in people's head often kills them....we can conclude the putting of an extra whole in the decendents head probably is what killed him/her".
We simply have no experience with lineages of life coming into existence via some natural process.....none....zippo.
Your analogy doesn't follow.
