Why discuss this? All these 'criticisms' of evolution are obsolete, having been answered by the evolution community.

Note however, that strictly speaking, "Evolution" itself is not about how reproducing life was first created but about the methods by which genetic characteristics change over time.

This is a consistent problem with Creationists; really, how life BEGAN, and how life EVOLVED, are two completely different debates. But they chose to focus on the how life BEGAN debate, and call it a debate on "Evolution" because they're slightly less obviously full of it and have a slightly better chance of looking good in that debate.

Thank you for pointing out that distinction. I see this discrepancy overlooked time and again on this subject. There is no question about evolution. Creation is the issue.
