It is just another immaculate conception, a belief that life just evolved from nothing.
No, it is an explanation of life evolving from common ancestry. Common ancestry is not "nothing".
Like the Big Bang it relies upon a singularity, the DNA molecule.
I'm not sure where to begin with a statement so stupid.
They are inadvertently admissions the universe and life are immaculate conceptions and they are dependent on each other.
No, they're not. They start at a certain point that they can explain, and explain nothing before that. Anything outside of their range of explanation is not covered by the theory. The theory of evolution does not explain the ultimate origin of the common ancestor, so it can hardly be called "immaculate conception". Only those with no education on the matter actually claim as much.

let me try. I am interested in how creationists can be so certain about the steps needed to go from "mere" chemicals to life, when science is still scratching its head about the details. Granted, there are many scientists on record as believing it happened, but that is rather distant from asserting how it happened.
