Well. I Finally got the stupid thing to run. I concluded by looking into the log file that the problem probably was the OriginESImpl.dylib. That one is overwritten as the new software is downloaded from EA servers. What I did was to simply copy that from the original installation dmg.
cp /Volumes/Origin/Origin.app/Contents/MacOS/OriginESImpl.dylib /Applications/Origin.app/Contents/MacOS/OriginESImpl.dy
At least now it starts and my thirteen year old is happy again. Shame on you EA not to be able to solve this sooner.
Good luck to the rest of you!
To clarify the file locations for those unsure of what to do:
UPDATE - The Origin file listed in the above solution has now been updated. EA have released a beta build to fix this issue. Please download it here, making sure that you have completely uninstalled your current installation of Origin.
@HolyNicholas has also posted a fix which is worth a try if you're experiencing the issue intermittently:

I had the same problem today and it still didn't work after re-installing origin. After a bunch of testings and diagnosing, I was able to fix it.
What happening on my computer was that the launch daemon for the helper tool was not properly started. As a result, a connect socket was not created, Origin app failed to establish connection with the helper tool and therefore fell into the loop of installing of that tool. So to fix it I had to manually start the daemon.
Try running this in the terminal:
sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.ea.origin.ESHelper.plistHope this helps! :D

Thank @ellika0202, they came up with the fix

I have the OS X El Capitan on my mac and every time i try to open the origin app it simply won't open. Is it because the Origin does not have any kind of support for the El Captain yet or is it something else?
