Rabbi Adam Jacobs: A Reasonable Argument for God's Existence I think it's sad. The whole God versus science thing is a big red herring, yet it keeps popping up with astonishing regularity.
The existence of God is not made more likely by the lack of explanation for phenomenon X. This is true even for evolution. Suppose, for instance, that we could somehow show that common descent is absolutely false, and that evolution is hopeless to explain biodiversity. In that case, we are absolutely no closer to showing that God exists.
There is no reason to prefer the God hypothesis over any other arbitrary hypothesis you can imagine. The idea that we should privilege God over other ad-hoc stories seems prevalent in our society, but it has no rational foundation whatsoever. When the Rabbi lays out his case for God as a negative case against abiogenesis, he's committing himself to that fundamental error.
