The Theory of Evolution contains nothing about creation. Biology works with the life it sees and the history of life in the fossil record.

That's true. But you wouldn't know it by talking to most people who promote evolution as the solution to Life, the Universe, and Everything.

Like it or not, evolution is inextricably entangled with biogenesis. How can one discuss evolution in class without biogenesis entering into the discussion? I was taught, in the 1980s mind you, that life came from a protein soup in the oceans, seasoned with a little lightning. This was taught as scientific FACT along with evolution. I didn't realize that it was a poorly supported theory until much later. And strangely enough, when you point this out to people, they jump down your throat and call you an idiot who doesn't accept evolution. Funny how that works.

I really would hope you would stop associating abiogenesis with the ToE. It is not there. Biology doesn't need abiogensis to do what it does.

Whatever people you are getting your information from, I doubt if they are biologists.
