We have come to realize that only adult species can produce offspring of its kind. Recently scientists in England ‘discovered’ that the chicken came first - the egg just cannot appear. Biblical Christians knew that from Genesis 1 - thousands of years ago.
All scientists know the first and second Laws of Thermodynamics; thus, they realize that life CANNOT come from non-life. They also realize that things move from order to disorder not the other way around.
EXCEPT in their theory of evolution - which they have not been able to repeat in the lab. So much for science.
Also, in the Greek language there are at least three words for life - one refers to the body, one to the mind, and one to the spirit/soul of man.
Evolutionists only speak of ‘bios’ the body. They don’t even have answers as to how we acquired our minds and the ability to think abstractly. They don’t have answers to the heart (conscience or enthusiasm and vitality in life.)
I believe that takes a much bigger leap of faith to believe in evolution than it does to belive in God and special creation.

What does the Second Law of Thermodynamics have to do with your assertion that 'life cannot come from non-life'?

It only takes common sense. If the egg came first, how could it hatch without a chicken having incubated it? You don't need mythology to figure that one out.

You are incorrect the Evolutionary theory does not address the origin of life.

It is no valid objection that science as yet throws no light on the far higher problem of the essence or origin of life ~ Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species (1909), 519-520

But nice straw man…good try!

[They also realize that things move from order to disorder not the other way around.]

Except in instances where one system gains order at the expense of another.

The relationship between the Earth’s Biosphere and the Sun, for example.

This is a bad argument against evolution, Pastor Jim. (I'm not saying that there aren't good arguments against evolution, only that this isn't one of them.)

"Things move from order to disorder" is only true for a closed system, and refers specifically to the distribution of heat energy. (Put a cup of hot coffee in a cold room. The coffee will cool; the room will heat up slightly. The reverse, where the coffee boils away while the room continues to cool toward absolute zero, cannot happen unless you input energy to the system to make it happen, making the system not "closed" anymore. (This is also why your air conditioner doesn't run for free.)

The earth's surface is not a closed system. It's always receiving energy from the sun, and some areas also receive energy from the earth's interior. If there's a net input of energy, local order can appear out of disorder. (It's what happens in a factory, for example.) It's only local order -- the total disorder of the whole system increases. But local order is all evolution would require.
