By definition he theory of evolution doesn’t deal with how life began only what happened after.

If you oppose scientific materialism you will have a much easier time of it challenging it on origin of life questions than evolution questions. As flawed as the theory of evolution may be, they at least have a superficially plausible story and a view with a lot of adherents.
When it come to the origin of life there is no consistent or coherent theory just a hodgepodge of speculations along with some extremely difficult if not impossible contradictions involving needing proteins to create proteins and the sheer complexity of the simplest cell.
The weakness of the atheist materialist case is origin of life questions not evolution likewise the mind body problem not monkeys evolving to humans by natural selection is the place to attack them.

Ben Stein: I was thinking to myself the last time any of my relatives saw scientists telling them what to do they were telling them to go to the showers to get gassed; that was horrifying beyond words, and that's where science, in my opinion, this is just an opinion, that's where science leads you.

Crouch:   That's right.

Stein:  Love of God and compassion and empathy leads you to a very glorious place, and science leads you to killing people.

My problem is, neither evolution nor biblical creation work for me.
