I’m just resistant to the idea that we can ever solve the existence of humanity through physics. I think at best it’s the model in which to test our ideas of the meaning of humanity.
Why not? Perhaps not physics because that requires physical dynamics at a extremely small and large scales that are beyond our abilities to duplicate. But what about our symbolic representations of the mechanics involved.
Robert Hazen makes a clear and persuasive case for the probability of Abiogenesis via mineral interaction.
And with that pseudo-scientific dribble I leave the conversation to you fine sirs since we’ve already established I submit to authority and I don’t want to test that dialog box on the right.

It is mathematics that predicted the existence of the Higgs boson. Fortunately, the experimental physics was within our ability and “eureka”, we caused a Higgs boson to become manifest for just an instant.
We had a glimpse of the quantum world, by imitating a little bit of the energies found in cosmic clouds (Cern).
