Actually the ToE cannot address abiogenesis. Much of the content of the ToE consists of mechanisms such as allele variation and various types of selection on those alleles. Because we do not yet know what occurred at the beginning we have no idea how those mechanisms could be applied. Why would the ToE try to address something beyond its current range? If science finds that it can be applied, then it will be included.
Why don't creationists whinge about Gravitational Theory? It doesn't address the origins of matter, after all.
If they were intellectually honest, they would fight as hard to deny the work of Einstein as they do the work of Darwin.
That they do not tells us much about their agenda.
And that is exactly why the TOE must fail. If evolutionists recognize that their theory cannot account for the origin of life, how can they possibly simply dismiss creation/ID when they can offer no explanation for the origin of life?
The failure of evolutionists to offer any explanation for the origin of life concedes Behe's conclusions related to irreducible complexity.
The entire theory is out of its current range. No one observed the assent of man, yet it is taught as a fact. Evolution is postualtion based on speculation and not observation. Abiogenesis is an easily proven theory. All one needs to do is to sterilize an environment in which life has never existed and add time and a little sunshine and see if life generates itself. No one is ready to even attempt that experiment as it is ludicrous.
If science finds that it can be applied, then it will be included.
Abiogenesis was taught as the FOUNDATION of Evolution when I was in high school. Now it is apparently gone and evolution is left with no foundation.
BTW I forgot that I left this thread. Please don't ping me back. Thanks.
