True Loudmouth, I tend to see evolution more from a process standpoint than from a biological standpoint. I'm in A.I. so my interest is in the characteristics common to all evolving systems, and especially those which use RM&NS. It's possible that there is a continuum between pre-genetic and genetic evolutionary systems. However, it's also possible that they share mathematical characteristics but that there is a discontinuity between them in our biological history.
Logically, abiogenesis is not a necessity for RM&NS, so its absence cannot be used to falsify the other things we know about evolution. I guess that is the important point with respect to the creation vs. evolution debate. I just like to champion the cause of RM&NS as a general scientific principle which extends beyond the genetic evolution which we see in DNA/RNA biology.
