Evolution says nothing about the origin of life. You've been told this before, so why are you lying about it still?

Just a handful of links to your religious writings. Who is lying about evilution theology having nothing to do with origins of life again?

You are. The origin of life is a subject in biology, as is evolution, and both are of interest to a subset of life scientists. That does not mean that the origin of life is a part of the theory of evolution itself. And calling it a "religion" is another of your lies.

But then it's obvious that you don't care about facts. You've already decided that you don't like evolution. The facts aren't on your side, though, so you have to use lies to support your agenda.

One of the beauties of Free Republic is that there is a thread history where subjects just don't disappear into the 'memory hole'.

I despise intellectual dishonesty. To deny that there is not a push to tie these things together is reprehensible. It would be nice to give these folks their own little home here on FR that does not detract from the purpose of this forum ( um, politics ).

A. We're discussing what should be taught in biology classes. These are popular science books. Do you have any evidence that high school biology textbooks claim that evolution proves anything about the origin of life?

B. I have read The Spark of Life. They do try to make the case for some kind of pre-biotic selection, or chemical evolution, happening before the first fully-living cell existed. The book is an enjoyable read, with a lot of background on the history of the development of the different theories about the origin of life & the characters involved. But again - darwinian evolution cannot get started until you have some kind of self-contained entity that can sustain its own replication. In other words, evolution cannot apply to anything that happens before such a self-replicating entity exists!
