I've read a ton on this and watched as many debates as I could find, and 99% of the time it becomes a philosophical issue, not a scientific issue. You're either willing to consider a creative agent or you're not. If you're not, especially when it comes to abiogenesis, you just hand-wave and say "billions of years" and there is no evidence that will put a dent in that.
I generally agree with you here.
On the flip side, one needs to resort to special pleading when asked the question, "If everything needs a creator, what created it?" We then get, "Nothing, the creator always was," which is just a differing form of hand waving.

It also happens to be a pretty standard definition of God, or at least the God of Abraham. And it has been since the beginning of the Abrahamic religions, not just as a recent definition formed to answer a difficult philosophical question.

We just have to accept that human intelligence is limited. There are things we just weren't meant to comprehend, nor are we capable of doing so.
