I agree that evolution does not address anything other than what happens during the animation cycle of an organism. It does not address how that organism came to be animated. If Evolution is that limited then science is left with a gaping hole and maybe it should be addressed. If science can reproduce "creation" in the lab then ID or Creationism is forever discredited.

Evolution can only address what it was meant to address. Specifically, it is imperfect replication and a change in alleles in a population over time. It only deals with living organisms. It cannot, and does not, deal with non-life. I agree that I would like a theory that would explain that, but that would be another theory entirely. Right now there is not enough evidence to go beyond the hypothesis stage.

Actually, I've had that discussion with others. Creationists will not consider ID or creationism discredited in those circumstances. I believe that the exact response was "get your own dirt". Meaning, do it without any atoms to work with. It never ends.
