In regard to demonstrating a theory to be false, you haven't done
that, all you have done is identify areas that have not been
explained, at least not yet. There is nothing at all unusual about
that in science. Darwin's ToE was initially unable to explain how
traits and characteristics got passed on between generations; it took
Mendel to do that. In making his claims about heliocentrism, Galileo
was unable to explain tides and stellar parallax, it took a couple of
centuries to sort all that out. In neither case were the claims false.

In regard to a viable alternative, you have put an alternative forward
- supernatural causes - but you have provided nothing whatsoever to
support its viability. Again, you seem incapable or unwilling to grasp
that even if A is wrong,that does not automatically mean that B is
right, that B needs to stand on its own grounds. That is the
fundamental flaw in ID which is what you constantly mimic.

Not playing tit-for-tat, but I return a similar criticism: you seem
incapable or unwilling to grasp or maintain a coherent focus on the
content, logic and qualifications of my argument.
 Content: OOL is too complicated and too many unexplained gaps to be
due to natural processes.
I've been putting forward problems that have been described as a paradox (e.g. tar), or that I'm suggesting may have P = 0 (e.g. warm little pond continuous operation over millions of years). That is, I'm looking at potential showstoppers, no just "too complicated" or "too many unexplained gaps". At the same time noting that there is a degree of subjectivity and overlap in these categorisations. And of course, in each case supporting evidence is needed.

 Logic: because of that complexity and those gaps, ideas and
explanations based on natural processes must be wrong - therefore OOL
must have been due to supernatural causes.
 Have I missed anything in those two parts?
 I'm not sure what qualifications you mean, I may have missed them.
A key qualification is my option 1 and 2 proposal, which is much more nuanced than your summary.
That said, I do appreciate your engagement with these ideas and your willingness to concede the point below. And I may need to more carefully consider some of the objections raised by yourself and others (what would you suggest they might be?).
To recap some points:
- If the tar paradox is connected with configurational entropy, then that is potentially a hard stop
- If the first protocell must have a warm little pond or connected ponds supplying concentrated activated canonical nucleotides continuously for millions of years, this may arguably be a geological impossibility

The Caloric Theory
The caloric theory posited that heat was a fluid-like substance, called
"caloric", that flowed from hot objects to cold ones. This theory was
widely accepted because it explained certain phenomena, such as the
transfer of heat and the expansion of gases when heated.
>
The Disproof
In 1798, Benjamin Thompson (Count Rumford) conducted a groundbreaking
experiment during the boring of cannons. He observed that enormous
amounts of heat were generated by friction, seemingly without any
depletion of a material "caloric" substance. His experiments
demonstrated that heat could be produced indefinitely by mechanical
work, challenging the idea that heat was a conserved fluid.

However, while Rumford's findings refuted the caloric theory, a
comprehensive alternative explanation-what we now understand as heat as
energy transfer and the kinetic theory of heat-was not yet fully developed.

So what experiments have taken place that show OOL not to be due to
natural causes?

Note: [probability argument] !=experimentation.

The Transition Period
It wasn't until the mid-19th century, with the work of James Prescott
Joule, Hermann von Helmholtz, and others, that the modern thermodynamic
understanding of heat as a form of energy was established. Joule's
experiments in particular quantified the relationship between mechanical
work and heat, leading to the formulation of the first law of
thermodynamics (energy conservation).
>
Why This Matters
This case illustrates how science can enter a transitional phase where
an established theory is refuted,
>
I stand open to correction but I don't see anyone claiming that
current ideas on OOL are at the *established theory*; as far as I can
see, they are just possible natural explanations yet to be proven.

but a replacement theory has not yet
emerged. During such periods, scientific progress often relies on
accumulating experimental evidence and conceptual groundwork before a
new paradigm can be articulated.
>
So what experimental evidence and conceptual groundwork are you
offering regarding your supernatural causes paradigm?
>
The disproof of caloric theory paved
the way for the modern understanding of energy, despite the temporary
gap in explanatory frameworks.
