  yes, i know that someone is going to say that evolution does not encompass this topic and should be sectioned off under abiogenesis.

  i'm not trying to argue semantics here but it seems like a case of avoiding an uncomfortable subject.

  Evolution advocates have commented almost 100% as predicted so this thread is a complete success.

  Thanks!!!

  This is #1 which implies that another thread might be coming . . .

  It is an attempt at full disclosure. Humans are notorious for slanting evidence to support their position and disregarding evidence to the contrary.

  Thus, both positions are a matter or faith re: the origin of life. I say the evidence points to the fact that life will not develop from inanimate matter. This leads to the conclusion that life began via creation. Do I pretend to understand this creator and how the creator originated? Not at all and why should humans expect to? What have humans discovered about our place in the universe? We can't even begin to comprehend the visible universe.

  Does the evolution of the universe require thinking about how it started?

  "In discussing how this house got to be here in its present state, we must only talk about how it was remodeled. Its construction is totally off limits, irrelevant and is not connected to the present situation." Really???
