Demanding that "Evolution-The Origin of Species" explain the origin of the first species along with all the rest, seems pretty reasonable to me.
That most evolutionists like to get off on a rant about the difference between abiogenesis and evolution, is nothing but a feeble diversion from the discussion. They believe that life originated by the chance combination of events, just like they believe that species evolve. But for some reason, it's like how liberals in general don't like to be labeled as liberals.

I'm sure it would, to you. If you had read that book you would know better.
