I understand the rationale. Cults always have a rationale to explain their mistakes too. I'm just not buying any paradigm that hides under the banner of "science," yet gets to drop anything that doesn't support the doctrine.
What mistakes? Evolution deals with populations of organisms. Explaining how life ultimately originated is not within its scope! It does not matter if the first life forms somehow came together from reactions in a pool of biochemicals or if they were seeded on this planet by aliens or if a divine entity zap-poofed them into existence; none of that would falsify evolution. The ultimate origins of life is irrelevant to evolution. Your argument is like saying that gravitational theory is unsound because it does not theorize on how matter came into existence.
