[Moseley]

Charles Darwin never included origin of life in his work, neither has any scientist who understands the theory of evolution.

So if evolution does not address the beginning of life, how did life begin? If evolution cannot explain where life came from, that would come as a shock to all the teachers and professors teaching it, all their students studying it, the opinion leaders in society, and the general public.

This is part of the problem. In order to defend evolution when questioned in one area, its defenders always have to retreat and say it means something else entirely.

The fluid and inconstant nature of what evolution means should be proof positive that evolution cannot be defended on the basis of facts. Evolution is a belief system, faith, a religious point of view.

If you Google ‘greatest science mysteries’ you will be very hard pressed to find a list that doesn’t include the origin of life.

So apparently the many politicians, professors, teachers and students you surveyed before making your blanket claim are incapable of understanding that there has never been a definitive theory put forth.

Please provide me with the title and author of a textbook that claims that there is a definitive theory on the origin of life.

In my experience, the only people who make claims such as yours try to use it as a strawman in order to claim that the entire theory of evolution must be thrown out.

This wouldn’t make sense even if what you claim is true. The only thing you would be able to dismiss is that evolution explains the origin of life. If you have no evidence to present against natural selection driving differentiation then if you were a logical person you would have narrowed the theory of evolution to what Charles Darwin and any other responsible scientist already understands it to be.
