If you reread my original post; you’ll find that I was careful to put in the qualifiers. That was my whole point. Too many people do lump the origin of life in with the origin of species — they’re two very different things. Without consistent definitions of terms; reasonable debate is impossible.
Darwin knew he had no ‘scientific’ answer to the question of the origin of life. Too many of his self-professed acolytes do not know that fact — and, therefore, make outlandish claims in Darwin’s name. Creationism is a Faith-based explanation — and so is every other explanation to date (and, perhaps for all time).
“That was my whole point. Too many people do lump the origin of life in with the origin of species”
Was the first life not a species?
