Actually, they're connected from the evolutionist's point of view. They claim that from non-living matter came bacteria. From bacteria, multi-cellular organisms evolved. A fish became an amphibian. An amphibian became a reptile. A reptile became a bird. A bird became a mammal.

The evolutionist states that a "big bang" happened and that the earth began to form. From this formation, life, as noted above, evolved.

Those who are evolutionists generally hold to the big bang and work both of these non-theories together.

There's all kinds of problems with both non-theories, however, such as the avian lung in claiming that birds came from dinosaurs and reptiles.

Just like the theory of gravitation.

Abiogenesis and evolution are two separate things.

They aren't connected from the evolutionist's point of view.

People who are opposed to evolution try to link the two, because their arguments about the lack of evidence are fairly strong when it comes to abiogenesis, and they think if they link the two that the evidence argument can be used against evolution. They are wrong. One, the two are separate. And two, there is lots of evidence for evolution.

Just think flu vaccine. EVIDENCE for EVOLUTION. Observable in the lab.

To scientific fact, they apply a "non-disputable" absoute standard,

Such intellectual dishonesty is rarely found, much less trumpeted.

It is truly chilling, and a bit scary.
I don't remember anybody saying religion wasn't a matter of faith or saying that God's existence is indisputable. Seems you're engaging in a strawman at the same time as accusing others of intellectual dishonesty.

Actually, no. They're not. It does not matter how life originated. It could have spontaneously sprung from a primordial soup, been seeded by aliens from the Pleiades, or been created by one God or many.

Regardless of how the first living thing came to be, all subsequent living things on earth have are evolved from one or a very few original ancestors through a Darwinian process of descent with modification.

Change over time.

Species that exist today didn't exist in the past. And species from the past are no longer present today.

That's what I'm talking about.

Quote:
There is no evidence of transitions, implying that one type of organism became another type of organism. A dog is still a dog. A cat is still a cat, and so on.

God created KINDS, in which it is likely that the environment selected against or for certain existing genes within the originally created kinds. Some environments were better for some traits, whereas other environments were better for other traits. However, all the genetic material, and there is a lot of it, were in the original created kind.

This isn't evolution, but natural selection.

Evolution doesn't exist. It's a fairy tale.

Tell ya what...

Go down to the dock. Hold your hand out and demand that the tide doesn't rise or fall. Observe what happens. Take it as a hint on how much nature listens to opinions.

There is zero evidence t9o support this assertion.

So if both the evolutionists and creationists thought the origin of life was created by space aliens, this thread probably would not exist, eh?
