Re: Equal Points Of View?

Nowadays I do equate evolution with atheism, in the sense that the general populas is exposed to a consensus that evolution is 'true', or 'the norm', or - and I paraphrase the typical response; 'they know where we came from now', in response to theism.

While it might be you equate atheism and evolution, that is not a good equate. There are many fine believers that accept evolution, and the basis for atheism is not evolution, but rather the lack of evidence of any deity.
While evolution makes atheism more intellectually satisfying, it does not mean there is no god, nor does it mean there is a god.
When it comes to 'abiogenesis', that is the logical fallacy of 'moving the goal posts' and bringing up red herrings. It is, of course one of the standard tactics of anti-science groups.
