Instead of scolding bray,you might be well advised to closet yourself with some of your colleagues and council them over measures you can take to get your stories straight. It seems that not all of the Science Community joins you in such a categorical disconnection of Origins, particularly the Origin of Life, from the Theory of Evolution (See http://evolution.berkeley.edu/evolibrary/article/origsoflife_01, a Berkeley University website entitled “From soup to cells – the origin of life”, under the rubric “evolution 101” and described as “your one-stop source for information on evolution.”).
Quoting from the website: “. . . within the field of evolutionary biology, the origin of life is of special interest because it addresses the fundamental question of where we (and all living things) came from.” I think that's exactly right, and very well put.
Interestingly enough, a number of other universities list the Berkeley website as a recommended resource on their own Evolution websites. Perhaps you should inform them all of the embarrassment they are causing you and others, and of the need to rewrite their Origins material with the view to put a considerably greater distance between the Theory of Evolution and the issue of the Origins of Life. Oh, wait . . . Too late. The cat is out of the bag.
As with most propagandist efforts, you’ve forgotten the last moment and the next moment when framing your argument for the present moment. Whatever the other outcomes of their conflicting claims, Scientists and other academics have given away the fact that speculation on the origin of life is inevitably infused and informed by the Theory of Evolution.
Thanks, well put.
