Nice try, but evolution says nothing about the origin of life. Nor does it say anything about the origin of the universe.

Nice try, but evolution says nothing about the origin of life. Nor does it say anything about the origin of the universe.

Really?

Where did you get that idea?

Evolution claims that life began with and explosion, and explosion of absolutely nothing, that explosion of nothing created a dot, a dot that could be smaller than a period on this page, that dot than exploded and over the course of billions and billions of years, that explosion became earth and all the suns, moons, stars, planets, etc.

Than on earth, some how it started raining and that raining on the rocky surface caused some kind of soup, that soup gave way to life and out of the depths of this soup came the life that later became all life on earth.

If you are going to support something, than you should atleast have some idea of what you support. Going to support evolution, call a rock great, great grandpaw, as for me, well I’ll just say Abba Father and look back at God as my creator and great, great grandpaw.

Nice try, but evolution says nothing about the origin of life. Nor does it say anything about the origin of the universe.

In 1995, the official Position Statement of the American National Association of Biology Teachers (NABT) accurately states the general understanding of major science organizations and educators:

The diversity of life on earth is the outcome of evolution: an unsupervised, impersonal, unpredictable, and natural process of temporal descent with genetic modification that is affected by natural selection, chance, historical contingencies and changing environments.

Or in the words of the famous evolutionist, George Gaylord Simpson, "Man is the result of a purposeless, and natural process that did not have him in mind."

How do they know the process was unsupervised?

How do they know the process was mindless?

How do they know the process was purposeless?

Their statements are problematic in that they are unscientific. It cannot be proven that evolutionary processes are "purposeless" or that humans were "not in mind." Science cannot demonstrate these assumptions either way ... and that's the problem with their position. They become proponents of a religion of atheism; I say religion because their conclusion is NOT science, it is faith ... just as much as OUR conclusion is faith. Clearly, their definition is diametrically opposed to any concept of a personal creator being involved in the evolutionary process.

To be fair NABT removed the language after it was pointed out by the philosopher, Alvin Plantinga, and the theologian Huston Smith, that their guideline was really an implied atheism and went beyond what the scientific evidence for the theory could show. However, the concept of natural selection (absent a creator) remains the central tenant of evolution as taught in the classrooms. The definition of natural selection includes unsupervised, mindless and purposeless. Clearly, in defining evolution they have left the world of science and entered the world of philosophy and theology, and established atheism (a religion) in our classrooms.

"Nice try, but evolution says nothing about the origin of life."

If you include Universal Common Ancestry as a part of evolution, then it does.

"Nice try, but evolution says nothing about the origin of life"

Why do evolutionists distance themselves from the discussion of the origin of life?

Nice try, but evolution says nothing about the origin of life. Nor does it say anything about the origin of the universe.

That may be true of evolution in the narrow sense of "Darwinian Evolution", but it is not true of evolution in the broader sense. The broader, modern sense includes the theory of "Chemical Evolution".

"Chemical evolution? is essentially the process by which increasingly complex elements, molecules? and compounds? developed from the simpler chemical elements that were created in the Big Bang?. Recent astronomical observations have discovered that chemical evolution has even led to the synthesis of complex organic? molecules in space, a discovery that could have serious implications on current theories of how life developed."
