The theory is banished because there is no supporting evidence for it - compared to evolution which has an enormous amount of supporting evidence. That's science working at its best, and nothing political.
I say this as someone who once believed as you do, that you've been fooled, perhaps like me, by not honestly examining the evidence for the other side with an open mind. May you also find enlightenment.
The complexity argument is tired. We can clearly attribute incredible complexity to the action of evolution.
Now it's true we don't have a good idea how abiogenesis happened, and it's possible it could have been a supernatural thing - although everytime we thought that so far we've been wrong.
As you point out we have no evidence to support that either, and assuming that ends further scientific inquiry. It's not a useful or helpful thing to believe even in the unlikely event it was actually true.
Go ahead pray a bit and maybe He'll answer you those questions!!!
I surely don't know the answer, the same way scientists don't know how life was created in the first place. What everyone have is wild guesses and faith in those guesses. ;)
As to the material: First we should try to find out where to look for...
Praying is about the most reliable way of not getting any answers.
But if you imagine it is simpler for condensed space dust to become divine than to become alive, then there is a certain bridge I am sure you will be eager to bid on.
