Spontaneous Generation/abiogenesis is central/vitally important to the belief of evolution. If one starts with the presupposition, Carl Sagan's unverifiable assertion, that "matter is all there is." or "The Cosmos is all there is, all there has been and all there ever will be.", one has to believe that life came from matter because "that is all that there is".

Carl Sagan's statement is not a part of the theory of evolution, and need not be true for the theory of evolution to be true.

What evidence have you for such an entity?

What evidence have you for such an entity?

Evidence for a designing entity can't even be collected until some basic attributes are established. When and how does it act, for starters. Since the one and only atribute that is claimed is deliberate, intelligent purpose, it is fair to ask about motives an purpose, particularly in regard to the bacterial flagellum, which seems particularly well designed to kill young children.

What was the designer thinking about?

To which you responded, "What evidence have you for such an entity?" The entire of the post at #185 is evidence that chance did not bring life into being, thus the necessity for a designer of some sort is the obvious default conclusion.
