We all know that the attempt to separate abiogenesis from evolution is only for purposes of removing an insurmountable difficulty (a violation of the law of biogenesis) which actually supports special creation.

No, evolution has nothing to do with abiogenesis because evolution deals with EXISTING life forms. This has been explained so many times and in so many ways that the only reason for you to bring it up is because you are being deliberately dishonest regarding the nature of evolution. Your argument is as stupid as claiming that gravitational theory is weakened because it cannot explain the ultimate origins of matter.

Psst! Dimensio! You've had this explained to you before. Do you not get it or are you just refusing to admit defeat?

Here's how it works: Your brand of evo assumes entirely natural processes in its explanation of today's life forms. That assumption is called naturalism, also known as philosophical materialism. It just so happens that no matter what you call the philosophy, it holds to only the existence of matter and its motion. Therefore denied is the existence of a Creator. If there is no Creator, there are no miracles and life self-created.

Since self-creation violates the law of noncontradiction AND the law of biogenesis, it constitutes a miracle by definition. Therefore abiogenesis and evolution are inextricably linked.

BTW, you've been asked this before and I don't recall you ever answering: Why do biology texts deal with the "primeval soup" and the spontaneous generation of life if it has nothing to do with evolution?
