"When I was in school such speculation was included in evolution studies."
And it was firmly marked as being speculative, and the experimental results that had been achieved were discussed.

"And it was firmly marked as being speculative, and the experimental results that had been achieved were discussed."
The experiments failed of course. Why? Many reasons, one hypothesis is that life can only be created by God. If you always exclude God in your speculation on first causes, because you say that such speculation is not science, then you are simply espousing the religion of Naturalism and by default defining science as the religion of Naturalism.
