The evolution versus creation argument is a tactical diversion, for which you are a repeat offender. The one has nothing to do with the other, but are totally independent matters.

Since evolution doesn't even attempt to explain or even offer a hypothesis about how life came into existence, it can neither dispute or disprove creation theories.

Nevertheless, evolutionists spend more time attacking religion than they do presenting even a single shred of evidence showing how evolution had anything to do with how life came into existence. The reason for this is clear ... evolution has no answer for it, so rather than prove some natural mechanism of action which it cannot do ... it attacks the idea that life was created.

Double talk, smoke and mirrors, and slight of hand, in order to avoid answering the question about the origin of life in the only legitimate way it can, by admitting "we don't know".

I enjoy the Carl Sagan Cosmos, but now they are overboard with the 'spirituality' of science. It's just the newest version of paganism. I just straightforward facts without dressing it up into being some sort of spiritual mystic experience to be worshipped.
