Do you mean the question, “How did life begin?” I think that’s a pretty good question, and you may be convinced that science can answer that question, but I am not.

That is the question, exactly. And it has nothing to do with the theory of evolution. Oh, I know, all the creationists here want to say that it does, over and over, endlessly, but it doesn't. Life must exist already for evolution to occur. There is no way around it. The idea that life sprang from some random event (and lifeless compounds) is called "abiogensis". NOT "evolution".

>>Life must exist already for evolution to occur.<<

I agree. So you don’t think that Stein’s question was a challenge to abiogenesis and the arrogance of some materialists?

If Stein’s premise is that because science doesn’t really understand life (which I think is true), evolution must be totally false, then I think he is wrong about that.
