Here we go again.
It seems that not all of the Science Community joins you in such a categorical separation of 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.” A number of other universities list the Berkeley website as a recommended resource on their own Evolution websites.)
It appears that there is room for some divergence of opinion in the Science Community regarding the relation of the two issues, but it surely is clear that there is a relation, and that speculation on the origin of life is at least partially informed by what we have learned in our study of the Theory of Evolution.
That’s interesting. I’ve sent them an email asking about it.
