Sorry, but the Theory of Evolution does not concern itself with how life got here or how the very first lifeforms were created. Obviously, inanimate objects did not "evolve" into life anymore than H20 "evolves" from hydrogen and oxygen.
It doesn't matter if life began as a random chemical reaction, implanted by space aliens or if god poofed it into existence. THE THEORY OF EVOLUTION STILL WORKS. We should make this clear, evolution has been observed enough that it is considered FACT. It is also a Theory (just like GRAVITY, another fact and theory). Wikipedia can explain it better that me:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_as_theory_and_fact
And your statement about "DARWINIST" (whatever that is) not working in innovative scientific fields is totally ridiculous. Evolution is the foundation of biology and is definitely used in everything from developing antibiotics to industrial fermentation.(microbiology anyone?).
"Sorry, but the Theory of Evolution does not concern itself with how life got here or how the very first lifeforms were created. Obviously, inanimate objects did not "evolve" into life anymore than H20 "evolves" from hydrogen and oxygen."
This claim always amazes me. We have no clue how the first living cell could have come to be without ID, but we know for "fact" that all life after that can be explained by random mutation and natural selection with no ID.
How anyone can actually hold such inconsistent views is beyond me.
I need to get to work, so I'm bailing on this thread for now at least.
Of course not, because it would complicate things too much and blow the theory apart, but it is a perfectly logical question to ask.
Obviously, inanimate objects did not "evolve" into life anymore than H20 "evolves" from hydrogen and oxygen.
So then, where did life come from? What's the dividing line between living and non-living?
Really... Where did the third human on earth come from?...
How is evolution used in developing antibiotics, and in fermentation? Are you talking about adaptation of a species to external stimuli, or the changing of a species, into another species, through random allelle changes? Because "evolution" is used in a lot of definitions, to mean different things.
Then how come it keeps showing up under the chapter "Evolution" in the kids textbooks? Year after year after year?
"Science" may be self-correcting. "Evolutionary Scientists" clearly, are not.
