Copout. The only viable explanation for the origin of life is Creation/Intelligent design. Darwin’s so-called “theory” = EPIC FAIL.

Natural selection explains why changes in EXISTING organisms lead to better adjustment of future generations of these organisms to the environment. The concept of natural selection DOES NOT raise the issue of origins of life AT ALL - this is an entirely different matter.

Now, I know that science education in the United States sucks big time, but I am not convinced that it sucks enough for someone to confuse such elementary concepts. So, I start suspecting that our YE creationists here are actually Leftist provocateurs. The cui bono rule of thumb certainly suggests such possibility, because painting the conservative movement as ignorant benefits the Left. By, for example, depriving us of the credibility to challenge (using rational arguments) their global warming religion, their beliefs in successful socialist economy, etc.

Seeing as Darwin's "theory" has nothing to do with the origin of life, your logic = EPIC FAIL.

More unsubstantiated lies. If posting this the first 5,000 times didn't work why bother posting it 5,001 times. In Darwin's Origin of Species he deliberately avoided the topic of the "origin of life" but did acknowledge the Creator. The scientific accuracy of his "EPIC FAILURE" continues to gain corroboration 150 years after it was first published in spite of the hallelujah crowd's continuous ad hominem and fallacious assault on it. It underscores John Adam's quote; "Facts are stubborn things."
