I Didn’t say it “ must be something else”
That’s bad science.
You presume a default that does not exist.
something other than what??
The default in science is “ don’t know” . Nul hypothesis. You cannot do what you do - use your favourite assumption as default.
The rest is speculation.
RNA world is at best a step on the way. Maybe, possibly. Maybe not.
default is there is no evidence abiogenesis happened on earth, when , where or how. But There is forensic evidence of created cells , according to pathologists.
As for your obsession with shamanic cures. They are Not relevant here.
If you want to see strange mind effects try “nocebo” ( as opposed to placebo)
Scientific process is a spanner , a tool.
The scientific model is a limited model of observation. It is not the universe.
It’s called context. You trust extrapolatins of a model more than evidence ( or in the case of abiogenesis, the lack of it)
I all for speculative test of ideas. I spent much of my life doing so in some contexts. I am against promoting pure speculation as close to fact.

You are ignoring the breakthroughs and progress that is being made in the RNA World Hypothesis.
What you are basically saying is that if science science does not have all the answers it must be something else. And we know what your else is.
You keep providing excellent examples of projection. Keep them coming.
There are also excellent examples of shaman and yoga and Buddhist miraculous events. There are many, many cases of spontaneous remissions of cancer as well as other seemly incurable diseases. The human body is biology garden. Read the full literature of miraculous cures.
Opinions, opinions and more opinions.
I actually have studied with people who have worked with shamans and studied such cures such as Mrs. Marie Coleman Nelson who integrated concepts relating in sorcerers’ ritual of initiation into her psychoanalytic theory and practice. Mrs. Nelson was also a former managing editor the Psychoanalytical Review.
I have also studied the work of Milton Ericson in depth.
From: Commonalities Between Ericksonian Psychotherapy and Native American Healing
There are many commonalities between the techniques used in Ericksonian
psychotherapy and the healing rituals used in traditional Native American tribes. Milton
H. Erickson had some Indian heritage and may have derived some of his therapeutic
techniques from his study of tribal healing practices. A review of the literature shows that
both approaches emphasize symbolic healing through the use of story telling, metaphors,
ambiguous tasks, ordeals, and rituals.
It's highly likely that many miraculous cures can be attributed to the body being a biology garden.
What I am not doing is misrepresenting science with excessive hype. I can't stop you from labeling mine and other's trust in the scientific method as faith. Perhaps it serves as a purpose in giving your own religious faith a boost.
