"No one has been able to falsify the TOE, since its inception."

Argumentum Ad Ignorantium. Just because we are ignorant of anyway to disprove TOE, does not make it so. I am not denying TOE, I am merely saying that it is neither absolute, nor neccesarily "scientific fact."


"However, that is an argument of abiogenesis which is not in the TOE. You also run the danger that if science discovers that abiogenesis did create the first life form, you are left without a god."

I'd like you to forgive me, but I'm not sure exactly what abiogenesis is. Please enlighten me. From the context of the sentence, it would seem that you are suggesting that the original organism (if there was one) spontaneously generated. But then again I don't know what it is.

Falsifying a theory is hardly done from ignorance. It would take a lot of knowledge to falsify biological evolution, considering the mountain of evidence that has accumulated supporting the ToE.

Abiogenesis is basically the hypothesis that first life originated from naturally occurring chemicals without any intervention by God or any living entity. You must have heard the arguments against life forming from slime from whatever creationcrapsites you have been getting your information from.
