"The writer is clearly too ignorant of evolution to have any credibility regarding it."

True, the theory of evolution does not generally attempt to explain how life first began. Evolutionists just skip over anything that would cause someone to question the theory.

Evolution only deals with existing imperfect self-replicators. Given that it is known generally how those self-replicators operate, how those self-replicators ultimately came into being has no bearing whatsoever on the theory of evolution. Gravitational theory deals with objects that have mass, but it does not try to address how those objects with mass ultimately came into being, yet I see no one trying to use that as a challenge to gravitational theory.

The attempt to link the origins of life with evolution is a creationist diversionary tactic. The creationist claim that the seperation of the two concepts is an evolutionist copout is a blatant lie.

True, evolution assumes that life was already here (however it began) and the evolutionary process created all living things from the original single celled creatures. It doesn't try to explain how the single celled organisms developed from non-life. Evolutionists just take it for granted that this process happened somehow. But the same question can be asked of Religionists. If God created everything, then where did he come from?
