I noticed my sloppy use of the word "life" immediately after I'd posted. But you can't edit your own posts on FR. I agree that evolution and abiogenesis aren't the same subject, and that I should have used the word "species" not "life".
I don't know about you, but I'm getting really tired of these oblique pseudo-sceintific threads trashing Darwin. The discussions always degenerate into food fights between factions. It would be tolerable discussion if the basics regarding evolution and perhaps Biblical references to creation were discussed with fervor but in polite exchanges, but this constant ridicule and condescension from both sides is grating in the 'mein'.
