Therefore, in my view, this dispute which stems from Darwin's omitting to mention that he took life as an axiom will not go away and neither side ought to think of the other as malicious or ignorant in its reasoning.

When someone says explicitly that TToE says life arose from nothing, and I know they have all the information necessary to know that this is not true, I am going to suspect there is something other than good intent involved.

"Filling in the blanks" is IMHO, bad practice, but if we're going to just accept that it's going to happen we have to accept that it's going to happen all around.

It seems we are now simply repeating ourselves in this sidebar. Our views cannot be reconciled. But thank you, dear tacticalogic, it has been a great conversation!
