Re: Starting from the Root
i has been said by others that it is a separate issue.
abiogenesis and evolution have nothing to do with each other, evolution does not attempt to explain the origin of life etc etc
​
but its one thing to say that evolution is how species evolved from other species then not back up where the species began in the first place
​
thats why they are very much linked together
They sure are related, but they are not the same thing. If you have an issue with abiogenesis, why don't you call it abiogenesis? calling it evolution just confuses everybody else and stalls the debate.

Re: arrogance and ignorance
interestingly The science journal 'Nature' reported in 1997 that almost 40 percent of biologists, physicists, and mathematicians surveyed believe in a God. So where does that put the research of these individuals? Does the fact that they believe in God make their research any less accurate then an athiest/evolutionary scientist??
Two important points
​
1.) It may surprise you that most of those scientists that believe in God are evolutionists.
​
2.) By using expressions such as "atheists/evolutionary scientist" you make me believe you might think all evolutionary scientists are atheists. I would like to point out that that's not the case.

Re: Starting from the Root
It's like creationists advocating creationism and exempting Genesis from creationism
What's the problem with that?
​
it's like Biblicalists exempting Genesis from apologetics for the Biblical record.
It's nothing like that. Genesis is achapter of the Bible. Biogenesis is not a chapter of evolution.

Re: Why Genesis?
Buz, you may be unaware of the fact that not all creationists are christians.

Re: Evolution and Abiogenesis
Genesis literalist creationists who once believed in evolution have been convinced otherwise.
There aren't too many of these, I don't think.
