Chance Inadequate

Consider this quote taken from an article on biochemical evolution published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of the Sciences:
"Problems recur with hypotheses for the assembly of the earliest molecules
with the properties commonly associated with “life.” These include the unlikelihood that complex self-replicating molecules such as RNA could form by chance encounters even over geological time; the difficulty of protecting such molecules, once formed, from dilution and destruction by high temperatures, hydrolysis and ultra-violet radiation; and finally the difficulty of imagining how self-organization alone could lead to the encapsulation of a complex hierarchy of biochemical reactions in a membrane to form the simplest unicellular organism."
Faith in chance alone is faith also, and, I would suggest for your consideration, a greater leap of credulity than is the possibility that One existed prior to the universe and brought it, and us, about.
The universe itself points to the One behind it who is orderly and purposeful and intentional. Out of the mind and purpose and love of that Being, who is both transcendent to the universe and imminent in it, has come the universe, our world, life itself and us. And with our creation come accountability to the One who brought us into being.
You can know this Being because God desires to be known and has taken steps to which you can respond.
