But that's what the thread was and is about. That's all that the evolutionary theory applies to. It's a common misconception among the religious that science claims that God had nothing to do with the origin of life or with the creation of the universe, but science currently says nothing about either thing. If the movie's point is that scientists cling to evolution even when it doesn't explain the origins of life, then the movie is pointless and silly. Scientists also cling to the Pythagorean Theorem, and it also doesn't explain the origins of life.
If your point is that scientists should acknowledge the possibility that life originated in a supernatural act of creation, then I agree with you. But most scientists would also agree with you. The problem, as I said earlier, is that such a theory cannot be tested. Surely you don't think that we should just throw up our hands and stop all research into the origins of life, satisfied that we have the best theory. Our alternative is to continue designating creation as a mere possibility while attempting to find naturalistic methods (test tube life).
Also, inductively, we can see from history that our failure to do something artificially in no way implies theistic creation. At many points in history, the religious have maintained that a phenomenon which the science of the time could not explain was undoubtedly due to supernatural intervention. However, more plausible naturalistic explanations have almost always been found.
