The book is not titled “The Origin of Life.” As you point out, Darwin credits the origin of life to a Creator, which ought to make you feel better about the whole thing. But creation is outside the theory, no matter how devoutly you wish it were part of it.

The phrase about “their Creator” is in the Declaration of Independence. The Declaration does not have the force of law; our government is based on the Constitution, so unless you’re worried that the theory of evolution will repeal the Declaration of Independence and make us part of England again, what’s your problem?

FYI:

You claimed:

The book is not titled “The Origin of Life.”

I never claimed that it was; please reread my post, and try to comprehend the message I was trying to convey by taking all of it into context.

As you point out, Darwin credits the origin of life to a Creator, which ought to make you feel better about the whole thing.

I feel fine about my posistion on the matter. All I am doing is stating 'factual evidence' about what Darwin himself wrote concerning the theory that is frequently discussed on FR. Yet, even though this part of his theory is recorded in Darwin's own book, "The Origin of Species", it is never acknowleged by those of you who claim to be the "experts" in the field of evolutionary insight and defense.

But creation is outside the theory, no matter how devoutly you wish it were part of it.

How can you arrive at that conclusion after the quote I posted taken directly from the scientist who gave the TOE it's status in the scientific community? Darwin clearly entertained the acceptance of a Creator, as well as life being placed here by the Creator, whether in one form or two.

And anytime anyone questions posts by pro TOE advocates, we are immediatly labeled as crevos or religious facatics trying to push our agenda.

Do you not realize how weak this makes all of you look in trying to argue your point of view regarding the TOE?

Instead of directly addressing the points raised and giving detailed reasoning of why science has disregarded said certain part/parts of Darwin's original entertained thoughts on the TOE concerning how the things that inhabit this earth came to be, in which he credits it's beginning to a "Creator", it is readily dismissed in the scientific field. All I am asking, as well as a lot of others, is:

WHY???
