Evolution does not need to assume the origin of life, because life can be observed. Evolution is independent of theories about the origin of life.

See my response to VA. In short, I've indicated I understand full well your position. If it makes you feel good, you can keep repeating it. But don't pretend to me that evolutionists are completely agnostic with respect to the science of the origin of life. If someone claimed to have shown that naturalistic/gradualistic abiogenesis violates the SLoT, just as a random hypothetical, you guys will just shrug your shoulders and carry on??? Right.

But of course, we know life exists, we know it emerged via some sort of natuaralistic/gradualistic process, and we know SLoT always holds, so we KNOW this can't be possible, right?

No problem. The creator created life. Evolution explains what happened after that.

Satisfied?

We don't know this, but based on the history of science, a naturalistic explanation will be found.

What does elude me is the motive for giving up without an explanation, particularly since ID proponents keep assuring us that ID has nothing to do with religion. Some. like Michael Denton, assure us that biogenesis is inevitable, given the starting conditions of the universe.
