In his defence, just that abiogenesis sounds impossible to him doesn't necessarily mean that he has an alternative explanation.

Agreed. But that sounded like creationist dog whistling to me, and I'm curious why OP doesn't want to be explicit about what he thinks. Being explicit usually leads to improving the quality of a discussion IMHO.

You are exhibiting a deplorable behavior here, equating questioning of a scientific hypothesis with creationism dogwhistling.

When did asking "how do we know" become forbidden in science? Convention OoL is looking entirely too dogmatic and religious for my taste.

Just to respond to your first point, I don't think anyone here is "equating questioning the scientific hypothesis with creationism dogwhistling".

People are calling out Ezion for dogwhistling because of his writing style. Comments written in a glib manner, with superficial counterarguments presented as gotchas, that is suggestive of dogwhistling.
