(Evolution depends on replicators. No heritability, no mutations, no evolution. Period. So to say that abiogenesis is the source of the first replicator and then say that evolution does not depend on abiogenesis is kind of silly.)

If the first living cell came from outer space, show me how that tears down the Theory of Evolution.
If the first living cell was poofed into existence by Odin, show me how that tears down the Theory of Evolution.
"Evolution happens, intelligent design as a mechanism to change allele frequency also happens. Such is life on the third rock."
SHow me evidence that an intelligent designer is the mechanism for a change in allele frequency. (and not evidence from the bible please).
But I am glad you acknowledge evolution!
"I believe exactly what Genesis 1:1 says."
Show me how the Genesis creation account is more plausible than the Mayan creation story. Here it is so you don't have to look it up:

Or the Ugandan creation story:

Or the Japanese creation story:

If I do this will you promise to to be kind to creationists of all stripes as penance for being ignorant of the science?
Stuff wuz, somehow - we really don't know....
