Well I'm sure Dataman and I both consider evolution to be a lot less science and a lot more speculation, based less on observable facts than most science and a lot more on biased and faulty interpretation of evidence.

Your misconceptions about evolution do not change the fact that you have yet to explain how a hypothetical demonstration that life-from-nonlife is impossible would falsify common descent.

Didn't realize I had been asked to. demonstrating abiogenesis is impossible doesn't directly falsify common descent. But it does undermine the uniformitarianism and naturalism philosophy underlying common descent.

If a designer, ET, or God was required to provide the initial life form, then it is not only plausible, but likely that the designer, ET or God would mold higher life forms into what they wanted.

Thus, once God or a designer is considered as any part of the solution, it becomes logical that the Cambrian Explosion is attributed to that same force rather than natural selection.
