Several Evolutionist on this site have told me, the universe just is.
If an "Evolutionist" says "Banana splits are the best dessert ever." should he be able to cite some obscure passage from
On the Origin of Species as evidence? And are you sure they didn't say that in their capacity as red heads, or Brewers fans? Hint: evolution has nothing to do with either the origins of universes or life. But as the book title says, it does cover the origin of species.
I think you are confusing Evolutionist with the ToE.
If you're not saying that the "Evolutionist" isn't relying on the ToE to inform his opinion on universal origins or abiogenesis why did you bring it up?
