Your mythical allegory...

I am an atheist. Evolutionism has plenty of its own mythical allegory.

Evolutionists make the fallacious assumption this planet is the starting point for all life and is the encapsulated center of the universe unaffected by anything (or anyone) beyond it. It is akin to saying the sun revolves around the earth.

Not at all scientific of them; it is a faith based theory no different in logical fallacy than creationism in the ‘appeal to false authority.’

What do evolutionists think about teaching the idea that life may have originated from outer space? They already do teach the Big Bang theory, which is really an immaculate conception.

The evolutionists have no evidence that any species, flora or fauna, evolved on this planet at all more than anyone who would say it was delivered or is engineered by extraterrestrials unobserved in our midst.

The evolutionists have no proof human life evolved from other Terran life more than those who would say humans were marooned and/or engineered here by extraterrestrials.

Your atheism does not make the implications of your original statement to which I replied any less inane.

Your semantic confusion and objective relativism do not make this statement any more valid, or any less inane.

Evolutionists make the fallacious assumption this planet is the starting point for all life and is the encapsulated center of the universe unaffected by anything (or anyone) beyond it.

No, they don't. This is simply false. They make no such assumption. They do, however, deduce that this planet is the starting point for all life on earth on the basis of the best available evidence. Evolutionists certainly do not assume that this planet is "the encapsulated center of the universe unaffected by anything (or anyone) beyond it." That is just an totally baseless, ridiculous statement. They simply find no evidence to indicate any extra-universal affect of any consequence.

Not at all scientific of them; it is a faith based theory no different in logical fallacy than creationism in the ‘appeal to false authority.’

It is an empty fantasy that exists nowhere but in your mind.

What do evolutionists think about teaching the idea that life may have originated from outer space?

I have no problem with the idea myself, so long as one emphasizes the "may" part and so long as one informs the student that there is no actual evidence whatsoever to support the notion and that the best evidence we actually have indicates otherwise.

They already do teach the Big Bang theory, which is really an immaculate conception.

No, it isn't. The truth as I alluded to above is that no one has any clue what caused the Big Bang. So, you are free to fantasize whatever cause makes you fell all warm and fuzzy, but you will still have no clue what caused the Big Bang. Odds are excellent that you will never have the slightest clue what caused the Big Bang. Most people have a hard time dealing with that reality, but oh well. Reality is not contingent on your personal preferences. Many people don't have the ability to deal with that either.

The evolutionists have no evidence that any species, flora or fauna, evolved on this planet at all more than anyone who would say it was delivered or is engineered by extraterrestrials unobserved in our midst.

An utterly ridiculous and inane statement. Why is it that you think that just because you have the ability to string ten words together into a sentence that your statement deserves any respect or credibility?

The evolutionists have no proof human life evolved from other Terran life more than those who would say humans were marooned and/or engineered here by extraterrestrials.

Again, what makes you think that just because you say something it merits anything more than ridicule and contempt? Seriously, when two opposite points of view are expressed with comparable intensity, the truth does not necessarily lie in between. It is quite possible, or even probable, for one side simply to be laughably wrong.

Well, "pan spermia" is where Frances Crick went when his studies of DNA began to produce findings that exceeded the limits of his science to adhere to evolution.

Of course, the origins of the "spermia" still leaves uncomfortable questions for evolutionist theorists. Like, we did not evolve, but someone else in a galaxy far far away.......did?

I was just thinking that my previous comments might seem harsh, but the point that I'm making is a simple one: If you want to be taken seriously, then support your statements. An unsupported statement is of no consequence in a scientific discussion, and IMO shouldn't be treated as such. If you want your personal opinions to be valued just of their own accord, then the best place for that is some kind of support group..

What's with this cr@p?!

On crevo threads we're constantly being pestered by posters who seem to think that cosmology has something to do with biology.

Now you posting about "evolutionists" and "the starting point for all life " on a thread that was previously about cosmology.
