how dumb is that?

Athiest scientists, and perhaps those scientists who have a particular concept of God quite unlike the Biblical kind, seem to hold the view that life must have originated as a result of (i.e created by) the laws of nature/physics. That doesn't strike me as dumb.

that in itself is dumb.

Is it? Perhaps you can name something that you believe wasn't brought into existence by the evolution of the universe in accordance with those laws of nature.

and that makes more sense to me , than to think that a something
can be made from a nothing.

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, so scientists say. They would therefore agree that creation within our existing universe is no more nor less than the rearrangement of energy into different forms. It's true that humans have not yet created life by that means. May I take it that you believe they never will?
