[Just mythoughts]

Before you can intelligently discuss this issue, you should understand that the TOE and abiogenesis are two separate things.

Please save your 'ridicule' for some else. Darwin is squat if there is no hot and steamy pot of primordial pond scum. You all may want to claim separation but there is always a beginning and old Darwin is the middle of the theory.

Darwin is squat if there is no hot and steamy pot of primordial pond scum.

The origins of life are irrelevant to the TOE. The TOE only seeks to explain the evolution of existing life. It has nothing to do with life's origins.

You all may want to claim separation but there is always a beginning and old Darwin is the middle of the theory.

So, your attack on the TOE comes down to the fact that it can't explain something that is not relevant to the theory and that the theory never seeks to explain in the first place?

Well, they are two different things but certainly are not separate as without abiogenesis there is no life for evolution to randomly act upon and without evolution the slime just remains in the pool forever.

To exclude abiogenesis from evolutionary theory is like eliminating one’s birth from their life story.
