From RD's first link:
In 1924, the Russian plant biochemist and evolutionary biologist Aleksandr I. Oparin questioned Haeckel’s scheme. Oparin could not reconcile his Darwinian view—that simple organisms had gradually evolved into more complex ones—with the prevalent belief that life had suddenly appeared on Earth with a self-sustaining metabolism. So he proposed an alternative scenario. He posited that a long period of abiotic synthesis on early Earth had caused organic compounds to accumulate in a prebiotic soup, which had preceded life.
Restated again, just to make it crystal clear:
I'll just go ahead and trust the Museum of Natural History's publication, the title of the article "The Origins of Life" written by an evolutionist and the notation of all those published articles by evolutionists to help me understand what evolution theory purports.
When ideas are published by evolutionists in scientific publications trying to explain the origin of life, I'll use that as a measuring stick for a definition.
In other words, I'll trust the educated evolutionists to define their terms. Not yours.
