You’re making a “god of the gaps” critique — but the origin of life is not merely a “gap” — it is the ONLY interesting scientific question in existence (because without life no other question arises) and it is better described as “an infinite chasm” than a “gap”. The more we learn about it the wider the chasm gets and the more compelling the argument for God becomes.

I also think you are limiting your approach to who you are responding to: athiesm is a belief system about there not being a God, there is a different word for people who just don’t care at all.
