I don't see how you get to evolution without a serious consideration of origins

Can we discuss meteorology without a serious considerations of how Hydrogen bonds with Oxygen? Or how all the factors causing wind come to be?

Can we discuss the relative merits of the Yankees vs. the Redsox without a serious consideration of Abner Doubleday?

Can we discuss modern corn agriculture without a serious consideration of monocot evolution?

Now... Can we discuss evolution (or astronomy or botany or paleontology, etc) without a serious consideration of "origins?"

The answer is an emphatic "yes."

Yes, you can technically discuss evolution without discussing origins. However, the way most people discuss evolution is by leaning on assumptions about origins as though they were fact. Inevitably the discussion gets back to origins.
