Perhaps all of those details pertaining to origins are not taught as part of the theory of evolution because the theory of evolution does not include origins!
Classic bait-n-switch.
The
General Theory of Evolution (GTE) covers:
- Big Bang: All matter in the universe started as a point of infinite density and temperature known as a singularity, which experienced a rapid inflation of matter that eventually evolved into stars, galaxies, and planets.
- Abiogenesis: That life on Earth arose spontaneously from non-living chemicals into an as-yet-undescribed self-replicating protocell;
- Common descent: That all organisms on Earth are related to each other, and descended from a single spontaneously-formed protocell;
- Cosmic chronology: That the universe, Earth, and life on Earth are old to the order of millions and billions of years;

You forgot to provide the source for your talking points. They are from CreationWiki, a fundamentalist/creationist website. They are not exactly a paragon of scientific accuracy and reliability.
Tell you what: you define your religious beliefs, and let scientists who know something about the subject define what the theory of evolution covers.

Wouldn’t it have been a lot easier to just declare that the Biblical account of Creation in Genesis is true, and anyone who doesn’t think so is a godless infidel?
