" Is the short answer "Science doesn't know and can't prove how life began?"

No. In short, evolution isn't concerned with how life began, only how it has changed over time. Those who claim evolution is about the origins of life are either ignorant or liars. I know you have been told about the limits of evolutionary theory. That doesn't put you in the ignorant camp.

[Sir Francis Dashwood]

...evolution isn't concerned with how life began, only how it has changed over time.

Correction... Evolution is concerned with how life began, and how DNA has manifested in phenotypes over successive generations.

Let's at least get THIS straight, YOU disagree with the premise that evolution includes the origins of life.

However, HARVARD does not agree with you. But then again, you MUST be smarter than all of those stupid Harvard professors.
