However, the only people who say that evolution needs abiogenesis are creationists.
From CreationWiki (emphasis mine):
Assumptions of Evolution
The general theory of evolution holds to the following historical claims:
* Big Bang: All matter in the universe started as a point of infinite density and temperature known as a singularity, which experienced a rapid inflation of matter that eventually evolved into stars, galaxies, and planets.
* Abiogenesis: That life on Earth arose spontaneously from non-living chemicals into an as-yet-undescribed self-replicating protocell;
* Common descent: That all organisms on Earth are related to each other, and descended from a single spontaneously-formed protocell;
* Cosmic chronology: That the universe, Earth, and life on Earth are old to the order of millions and billions of years.
Evolution is not merely a biological theory of little significance. It is a world viewthe world view diametrically opposing the Christian world view. Therefore Christians ignore it or compromise with it at great peril!Dr. Henry Morris, The Long War Against God, Baker Book House, Grand Rapids, MI, 1989, p. 23
The theory of evolution can be defined as follows:
the theory that all the living forms in the world have arisen from a single source which itself came from an inorganic form.[6]
Now, regular Wiki (emphasis mine):
Origin of life
Further information: Abiogenesis and RNA world hypothesis
The origin of life is a necessary precursor for biological evolution, but understanding that evolution occurred once organisms appeared and investigating how this happens does not depend on understanding exactly how life began.[195] The current scientific consensus is that the complex biochemistry that makes up life came from simpler chemical reactions, but it is unclear how this occurred.[196] Not much is certain about the earliest developments in life, the structure of the first living things, or the identity and nature of any last universal common ancestor or ancestral gene pool.[197][198] Consequently, there is no scientific consensus on how life began, but proposals include self-replicating molecules such as RNA,[199] and the assembly of simple cells.[200]
How many scientists do you know that say evolution needs abiogenesis and without it, it cannot happen?
