That is a lie.

Please provide a historical reference showing that the theory of evolution once addressed the origin of life.

Are you certain that you are simply remembering incorrectly? If you will recall, you have shown errors in recall in the past. For example, you once denied making a prediction regarding the outcome of the Dover trial, when in fact you had actually predicted a win for the defendants.

Please provide a historical reference showing that the theory of evolution once addressed the origin of life.

My daughter's high school biology textbook presents the origin of life as possibly a series of chemical transactions unguided by any intelligent agent. The book asserts such a beginning for life in uncertain terms, which is good. This area of science should be tentative because there is no empirical way to test for the beginning of life as we know it. There is also no empirical way to test the assertion that all life is derived from a common ancestor. The greater part of evolutionist teaching is based upon reasonable conjecture, which in turn is made from the direct observation of change within limits.
