There have been at least 3 fora in the last month where it has been claimed that evolution isn't true because it doesn't incorporate how life started.
​
I thought it might be useful to start a thread on how scientists explain the difference between the Theory of Evolution, the various ideas about how life started here on earth and why religious believers find it so hard to grasp what scientists think is a simple and obvious point.
​
That point being that the ToE starts with life whilst abiogenesis is how life starts.
​
Consequently, the ToE is agnostic to the cause of life and works independently of that cause.
