Evolution does not need to explain origins? Exactly my point - building an argument from the 2nd story up
That's just a fact; evolution works on life, before life got here - by whatever means - there was nothing for evolution to work on. So you are right to say that it works from the second story up. You can say that God did that bit if you like. Equally, you can say that replicating molecules arrived on a meteor or were planted here by aliens.
We simply don't know how life started and maybe we never will, that doesn't mean that science isn't looking and it certainly doesn't mean that the theory of evolution is wrong. You don't need to know the origin of a car's parts to build the car.

My point is if atheists are right then who cares, but if wrong then you have a major problem don't you. I cant even imagine thinking this life is it...
This is actually what it boils down to in the end. All the fake science, the pseudo hypotheses and evolution denialism is just about maintaining this world view. Pure hubris.
