I authorize you to pretend it doesn't matter where I said it. I have said essentially the same thing several time in slightly different words. I just picked what I think is the best expression of my thoughts.

PatrickHenry at 1539: it's not a demonstrated fact, and it's not a pillar of Darwin's theory, that all life (including the first life) must come from pre-existing life.

js1138 at 1570 common descent is just the current best interpretation of evidence. It is unrelated to biogenesis or to the dynamics of evolution.

I'm willing to start over on this point, if you are willing to tell me what the point is.
