From the USA Today article cited:

"My expectation is that we will be able to reduce this to a very simple series of logical events that could have taken place with no divine intervention," said David R. Liu, a professor of chemistry and chemical biology at Harvard.

You've the least little bit of wiggle room here, if you want to bargain like a shyster. The professor did say that he believes origins can be explained without reference to 'divine intervention' but he did not explicitly endorse evolution, so maybe he thinks there is a "third way."

Well, there would have to be a third way to explain life origins, since the theory of evolution does not cover life origins.

But, hey, don't let facts get in the way of repeating a lie. Creationists never do.

This professor is talking about abiogenesis, not evolution. The *shyster* is the one who claims abiogenesis is part of the Theory of Evolution, and that the Harvard professors linked the two. What I said was true and correct. Sorry if you can't read English.
