I don't know about ytour textbook, but mine sepcifically stated that it was Abiogenisis. Perhaps the person who wrote your science textbook was as confused as most of the population seems to be about the differences between the two.
"I don't know about ytour textbook, but mine sepcifically stated that it was Abiogenisis. Perhaps the person who wrote your science textbook was as confused as most of the population seems to be about the differences between the two." I'm not speaking of "science" textbooks, I'm speaking of biology books (not "abiology") books. That's "books," plural, because it's a pattern followed by virtually all the recognized "major" texts out there. Most of these texts are high on passing off the slimmest of speculations as legitimate science. I would prefer they tell the truth and say "No one knows how life began...." and go from there.
