Even if one accepts that species change from one thing to another, it is farmore difficult to explain where the first living thing came from...

Correct. Abiogenesis should not be taught as a fact. It is a researchable problem, but there is no real theory.

This is why all the evolutionists on FR try to explain that the cause of first life is not part of evolution. Darwin explicitly excluded first life from his "Origin."

That strikes me as absurd. (i.e. I know for sure what happened in steps 2 through 27,367. But I don't have the foggiest notion what happened in step 1.) You don't suppose the "truth" about steps 2 - 27,367 could be related in any way to step 1, do ya?
