:-) Not a set up. It just gives me more food for thought as to how much this conversation reminds me of ones I've had with Catholics. I'll state what I believe to be a Catholic doctrine and they will say that it isn't canon. I'll cite entire web pages on the subject and millions of letters petitioning to make it canon and they state that it isn't official yet. I'll state that churches preach it and people believe it and are fully Catholic and they will say it is a shame the church is in such bad shape.
I believe this is a similar thing. I don't know what constitutes cannon/theory to you. To me if it is being taught and believed to be an alternate explanation for our existance to the bible that qualifies for all the discussion and argument I've made so far. You may be right, there may be no published theory at some certain level which constitutes canonized "theory" about abiogenesis. But ask around and see what people "believe".
