For your enjoyment,


"Cosmology is the branch of astronomy which deals with the origin and formation of the general structure of the universe.

Abiogenesis refers to first life - the production of living organisms from inanimate matter.

Micro-evolution or speciation refers to populational and species change through time. There are many published examples of speciation, if by the development of a new "species" we mean the development of a new population of individuals which will not breed with the original population to produce fertile offspring. Micro-evolution is a scientific fact which no one, including creationists, dispute.

Macro-evolution or general evolution refers the progression to more complex forms of life. The mechanisms of macro-evolution, including whether or not micro-evolution over a long enough time leads to macro-evolution, can be regarded as a "research topic" (Berra 1990, 12)."

Sub-headed under the "Theory of Evolution".

Where in there does it include Cosmology and Abiogenesis in Evolution?

I remind you that this is taken from a creationist website.

Cosmology has never been included in Evolution. Abiogensis is not included in the SToE.

I posted a link to the 'Modern Synthesis' a number of post back. Why have you not pointed out the reference to the origin of life in that list of Evolutionary tenets?
