How many times must it be noted that Evolution and Abiogenesis are two compeltely seperate sciences?

Evolution is a fact, and yes, credible scientists (as opposed to the very small number of YECers with degrees) states that Evolution is a fact.

Abiogenesis is still being worked on.

Argumentum ex Absentia? (i.e., reasoning from the non-existence of evidence, and within the frame of conventional scholarly enquiry...)


Why do you theists insist on using this dumb postulation?

Of course no one was there, not even the author of the 1st 5 books of the bible was there; Moses never wrote them as they are written in the 3rd person

Does that logic apply to creation too?

So you keep saying, but you lack any proof of your statement.

Without taking advantage of what is known about evolution what do you suppose the state of agriculture, medicine, etc. would be today? We wouldn't have nearly the abundance of food, our life span would be much shorter among many other things.

Yes, admit it or not, you too take advantage of evolutionary science.
How does evolution impact my life?
How is that? You can enhance the production of rice, but you can't make rice evolve into a banana, just like fish did not evolve into a human. Fish can change, but it will still be fish, not ape, or human. There is no evidence of one species evolving into another.

Epic Fail for you once again.

Plenty of evidence for one species evolving into another.

A list of some of the transitional species fossils...

I own a microwave. That's enough proof for me. Can't say the same about evolution though, - there is no proof for that.

Plenty of proof, as has been shown to you.

Your problem is that you do not own any degrees, nor any ability to look past your bible.

Evolution is also proven by the practical application of the fossil records and the Geological Column.
