[Ichneumon]

We all know that the attempt to separate abiogenesis from evolution is only for purposes of removing an insurmountable difficulty

Oh, "we all know that", do we?

What have you got, a dozen mice in your pockets?

[Dimensio]

He's right. Abiogenesis was removed from evolutionary theory to overcome an insurmountable difficulty. That difficulty was in the fact that evolution can only work on existing imperfect self-replicators. Since abiogenesis involves a stage where there are no existing imperfect self-replicators, it's very difficult to fit it into the theory of evolution.

The creationist lie that evolution somehow depends on abiogenesis is, as I said, as stupid and dishonest as claiming that gravitational theory depends on how matter came into existince.
