Yeah, I know that's what some evolutionists say, particularly on FR.
And I can understand why. It's just too complicating and embarrassing for them to deal with. Better to pretend that the first cells just pooped into existence than deal with the messy complications of what THEY evolved from.
And that is another reason that so many people realize that science does NOT have all the answers, much as they like to pretend they do.
What a though the looking glass post, Metmom.
Science has some hypotheses about how life originated but there is not enough evidence yet to firmly support any of them. It doesn’t pretend that the first cells ‘just pooped’ into existence, it openly admits that it doesn’t have the answer but it is working hard to find out.
Compare and contrast that with creationists. They are the ones who say life ‘just pooped’ into existence at the command of a supernatural entity and they are the ones who say they have all the answers; ‘God did it’.
