I'm sure someone must care about this Baraminology stuff - but it's not me. I couldn't care less.

I'm talking about Darwin - the irony of omne vivum ex vivo.

The evolutionary tree of life is a continuum, common descent, life from life, omne vivum ex vivo - which happens to also be the law of Biogenesis.

Baraminology is standard lore for YEC creation "science."

Glad you can see through the attempted deception.

Consider this: assume that one and only one aboigenic event happened in the history of the universe. All subsequent life would be descended from this singular event.

Common descent is logically unrelated to biogenesis.

But wait, there's more. Darwin and subsequent biologists have believed in common descent -- and with very good evidence. But common descent, if true, is an accident of history. It has no bearing on whether the process of evolution works by variation and selection. Life on earth could include alien spores from space. It could include miraculous entities cooked up by God. Evolution still works the same way.

Your assertions are falsified by Darwin's own writings. You are saying things that are completly inconsistent with the writings of the only person relevant to this discussion -- darwin.
