Not really. It's called symbolic logic. You should try it some time. I learned it when I got my philosophy degree. The obviously do not teach it in biology class.So like all good philosopers, you've never applied what you have learned? If you want to play that game, I've taken the same Logic course, tempered by Applied Analysis courses and Applied Math and Physics courses. In all of thoss classes, they warn you not to over simplify your logic. Obviously you never got the memo.
Whether we all came from the same initial life form or evolved from a common ancestry with chimps has nothing to do with current Biotech, just mainly a bunch of university bound professors that preach the dogma.
Again, not so good on the applied side of things are you? You are starting to sound like a postmodernist when you mislabel things you clearly don't understand as dogma. Sure you aren't a pomo in disguise?

Actually, I also have a degree in Electrical Engineering and took similar courses. Most of that is directly testable, though, unlike speciation. When you make the assumption that all life started with a singularity, something that must have happened millions of years ago, and left no physical trail, you need at least some discipline in your thinking.

Actually I am very solidly grounded in reality. Its the singularity of life folks that are out in spaceland.
