The origin of life isn’t even regarded as a part of evolutionary theory.
In my mind there is a theory of evolution and a cult of evolution. You can recognize a cultist when they come unglued when someone begins questioning evolution and most particularly begins bashing anyone discussing their own ideas about origins, abiogenesis, etc.
So apparently your memo is not getting out!
That’s right and it’s all very sad. There is very little critical thinking in this country and most of the world.
