"But still it leaves out the penultimate question(of who or what created life), and I beleive that is the creationists point, kinda of like the adage "can't see the forest for the trees"."

Abiogeneis is the theory that is exploring the origins of life. It may never reach a satisfactory conclusion, but at least it is trying to use the methods of science. There is no way to provide evidence for or against the creation of life by God, just as there is no way to prove or disprove God using science. Creationists want it both ways.

" FWIW, I side on the creationist side, they are least being honest in including the question of who or what created life."

For Creationists it is not a question, but an answer. They have to ignore the physical creation in order to make it fit their interpretation of scripture. There is no more dishonesty in evolutionists not trying to bring up the creation of life any more than there is dishonesty in Newton not bringing up the creation of matter in his theory of universal gravity. What is dishonest is claiming that your opponent's theory is weak because they are failing to explain something their theory never attempts to explain.

JMO, you are doing classic liberal/clintonian projecting, darwinists want it both ways, and use their allies in the MSM to portray such.
