The next person to use Evolution to explain the origin of life is going to be branded as silly and/or ignorant, by me.

It explains 95% of it. But I guess that isn't enough for some...

Why do we have to explain the origin of the supernatural? Isn't God, by definition, beyond the comprehension of man?

It's not just the origin isn't explained - but usually, nothing is explained about what the supernatural is, or how it works.

Consider, if I "explained" something by saying "It was squibble-splat", would you accept that as an explanation? Now if I replace that phrase with "fairies", "the supernatural", "God", "magic", but do not explain what these things actually are, how is that any different?

That is the main problem with evolution is that it does not have a workable theory on how life first started.

It's a problem with our knowledge, but it's not a problem with evolution. That we don't know how life started does not affect our knowledge of how life developed since then in the slightest.
