Abiogenesis is impossible

[snowtracks]

all these life experiments involve an outside mindful agency.

You mean outside like, in the same room but not in the experimental chamber?
How far away does the experimenter have to be to satisfy your demand that he not be involved?

Setting up some situation that plausibly might have been found on the early earth doesn't invalidate the demonstration that abiogenesis could have happened that way.
It isn't overcoming a 10^-50 barrier. It is just setting up the experiment so that you can have results in less than a lifetime instead of a billion years.

I do differ with the article's calling DNA life's software. Firmware maybe.

DNA didn't exist 4.5 billion years ago. We don’t know how or by what means the intelligent agent responsible for the information in living systems transmitted that information to an material entity such as a strand of DNA even though there were clues left behind that a mindful agency played a causal role in the origin of living forms.
When the figures of Easter Island were discovered, by what means were they carved (chisel, laser?) or erected was not completely understood, but nevertheless, it can be inferred an ‘intelligence’ made them.
The biblical God best fits the intelligent designer. One reason among many is - He is transcendent to the cosmic timeline which functions as a series of cause and effects; being outside of that, God doesn’t require a beginning or cause. Any other mindful agency would require a cause (Richard Dawkins is asking 'who or what designed the designer'?). The answer - none required.
