While I would agree that abiogenesis is not the foundation upon which the theory of evolution rests, your question to the poster begs the obvious ...

Perhaps it may be time for you to consider the possibility that there may be something external to matter....an intelligent Designer...i.e.God

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.

No, the default conclusion is, we don't know. Your default conclusion has been the default conclusion on every question science has ever faced, without exception.

That is what makes science different.

Even if the arguments in post #185 are valid, they could only logically lead to the conclusion that there exists insufficient information to answer specific questions in the field of biology. That alone does not demonstrate the existence of a "designer", divine or otherwise. You must supply positive evidence of design or of a designer to support your claim.
