["That would be the equivalent of the question "what is origin of life". Evolution does not cover that."]

Huh?

Which word did you have trouble with?

I thought the Godfather of Evolution, Charles Darwin wrote a book entitled "The ORIGIN of the Species".

Yes. The origin of SPECIES -- the branching diversity of life. Not the origin of LIFE itself. Try actually reading the book if you're still unclear on the concept, he's quite clear on the distinction.

Are you pro-evos backtracking from that, too?

No, but you've obviously never read the book, and are misunderstanding the title as well -- not to mention having a difficult time grasping what we "pro-evos" actually have been saying.

Not only did he misunderstand the title, he didn't even get the name right. It's "The Origin of Species" not the "Origin of the Species". Basic errors like that don't bode well for a promising debate.
