Evolution does NOT seek to explain origins and never has.

Once life was here, evolution takes over.

If it was planted, god started it, whether it just popped out of nothing, evolution does not care, and does not say, it does not seek to answer that question.

Abiogenesis is the hypothesis that is seeking to explain the origins of life, and that is what it is, a hypothesis.

I'd like to know how anyone reasonably traveled and read could possibly believe that evolution as a process isn't real. The world is full of examples of species that have gone under dramatic change to fit an environment. it boggles the mind, how something can be right in front of somebody and yet they still deny it. It is almost as if their faith is so fragile that letting in something that contradicts what their evangelical minister told them, scares them into ignoring what they can see for themselves. Ministers aren't God. They don't have a lock on truth. They aren't always right, and that shouldn't impact someone's faith.

Well, if that is true then why is organic evolution always attempting to give their "scientific" take on origins? Many who subscribe to evolution very often scoff at the idea that God created everything. They much prefer the idea that the whole universe and beyond came from matter too small to detect without a microscope. Time is also very essential to evolution. Thus explaining why each year they are adding more and more billions of years to the "beginning". Some people might argue that evolution means this or that, but the big picture is very easy to see. I suggest to you that adaptation is not the big picture in the evolution hypothesis. There perhaps, is a far more dare I say sinister plan. Please do not bite my head off for my opinion, this is a very important topic to many as I have seen here. I suspect a very important topic for various reasons I might add.
