ToE is not controversial, only according to the minority creationists. At least, here in Denmark, and most of the world, creationists are minority and do not have any academic background or relation to science. Most people here in Denmark (and probably Scandinavia) do not know what a creationist is.
Evidence for ToE is a whole other story so I will not talk further about that in this topic.
I did note your post was not just about the origin of life, but you wrote it like it was related to ToE, at least it seemed to me, and therefore I responded in the way I did. Anyways, despite different view on life we seem to agree that this artificial life is not related to ToE (yet - it might evolve) and as it is now, it does not support neither ToE or ID or Creationism
