Not at all my friend.. just the opposite. To me the study of life is the core of fundamental religion. No, the fundamental religions study God, not life.
You say it doesn't take much for life to begin, yet we've never seen it? How is that possible? Easy. If life occurs every 3-4 billion years, and we have been here for only 50,000 years, and keeping written records for only about 5,000 of those years, statistically we might not see life originate for another 3 billion plus years.
Don't get me wrong, I don't take Genesis as literal, but everyday I learn more about Biology the more I'm convinced it wasn't random. Then you had better learn a lot more biology.
