You have been told many times that the beginning of life is not a part of evolution, yet you continue to insist that it is. Evolution is about change, not origins.

If there is no beginning how can there be change? I guess what you are saying is that since you don't have an answer there is no need to pursue it. Sounds like a copout to me.

"If there is no beginning how can there be change?"

We know there is an origin of life, Evolution just doesn't explain it, and NEVER has attempted to. The same way that Newton didn't attempt to explain the origin of matter when he worked out his gravitational theory. 'How could Newton describe motion of matter without knowing it's origin??!!' Simple: he took it as a given and didn't care where matter came from.

The same is true of evolution: it doesn't matter where life came from. The ToE only concerns what happened AFTER life was already here.

"I guess what you are saying is that since you don't have an answer there is no need to pursue it. Sounds like a copout to me."

Sounds like you are a slave to your preconceptions.
