You'll notice a direct contradiction afterwards, when she says there is a load of evidence that life sprang from a single cell in the next sentence after she mentions its speculation.
I think if you actually read what you quoted you will see that there is no contradiction
quote:
Evolution doesn't even have anything to say at this point about how the very first single-celled organisms came into being. There isn't any evidence one way or another, so until there is, it's all speculative
and
quote:
However there's loads of evidence that from the first few types of single-celled organisms to come about, all other life later sprang.
are most certainly not contradictory, whatever you think of the truth/false status of the statements...
ABE: use the peek button (bottom right) to see the codes for generating both these types of quote boxes.

Please demonstrate how this is not contradictory
Actually, you made the asertion, it is up to you to demonstrate that it IS contradictory.
But I really do think you need to read what was written a little more slowly and carefully - perhaps a few less posts and little more thought? Breaking it down piece-by-piece would probably be an insult to your intelligence, so I'll just leave it to you for now. If you still feel that there is a contradiction, let me know and I'll walk you through it.

BTW, another hint - quote boxes are for "quoting" surprise surprise Your own text does not belong in a quote box. Your posts are becoming seriously confusing to read...
