I don't believe any expert in biology and other related disciplines would ever make such a claim.If all life is from prior life with no known exceptions...
No. While I am not a biologist, I will wager that almost all biologists would speculate that what we all call "life" - from the simplest amoeba to the complex human being - arose from basic atoms and molecules. People sometimes introduce an ill-defined concept - life - and then leverage the confusion that term invariably brings with it in order to cast doubt on a "natural" origin for things like both amoebas and human beings. The biologist will say there is no fundamental, irreducible thing called "life" - the term is used as a shorthand term to refer to complex structures that share common properties......then that would logically retrodict to a living first cause for all bio-life here as opposed to an exclusively nonliving.
But there is no magic thing called "life" - a living amoeba is simply a complex arrangement of elementary building blocks. And if a plausible case can be made that through entirely natural processes such complex structures can come to exist, then the whole quest for a "living first cause" becomes irrelevant.
I believe that the experts do not yet have a model for how the first entities we call "living" came to be. But that is certainly not argument that there is no such model, waiting to be discovered.
