What's the origin of life? If it is from outter space - would there ever be a way to find out how that came to be??? Maybe conditions on earth would've never been enough for that... is earth biology limiting our studies? How could math help with it's models?? Or computers ??

Find space rocks will life in them

You got that backwards

Do biologists ever integrate math or computers in their study???

Not that anon, but yes.
Permutations are used Genetics and in Ecology.

Other than that, I mean main theories in biology say that life came from a special state of the RNA - but can't explain how that RNA formed in first place... have they attempted to simulate the environment? Or they kept it on level of oral tradition story telling?

Yea, heaps of study, the Miller–Urey experiment is a famous early one.

There's no reason to assume we can or can't recreate it though, we don't know what occurred, so it's obviously unknown whether we could replicate the conditions necessary, or figure out how it occurred, still worth trying though.

It's not that simple, considering it took some billion of years for the first self replicating molecults to form with the whole Earth as a laboratory, just replication the conditions in a test tube and waiting is too much of a naive approach.

No never, in fact when people try to make them they throw eggs at them.
