Let me make it clear: OoL science has not answered the question of OoL. There are enormous gaping holes in the story. Asking about these holes, or pointing them out, is allowed. Pretending OoL has filled in these holes when it has not, and bullying those who ask the questions, questioning their motives, is not.

First of all, we will probably never know how life originally started, because it was a process at the molecular level that happened billions of years ago. Even if we found a chemical chain that leads to life, we would have no way to know if that particular one is the one that led to current life.

Second, anyone can ask any questions they like and anyone can answer or not any questions they like. No one is obligated to engage with you just because you asked a question. Actually, if someone tells you that they think you're asking your question in bad faith that's a courtesy they're having towards you, because they're giving you the chance to convince them that you're actually being sincere. They could have simply ignored you and gone on with their day.

Asking questuon without cost and put nothing into effort to work toward an answer is not doing science.
