Mirabile_Auditu: The topic is abiogenesis.
Mirabile_Auditu,
Although you attributed it to Modulous, you were actually quoting my post. Nothing in your response or in the subsequent responses really addresses the points I was making.
Your OP seems to make the following two points:
1) That current science shows that abiogenesis is impossible (or at least very unlikely), and
2) that evolutionists are disingenuous in saying that problems with abiogenesis are problems for the theory of evolution.
If these are not your points then please correct us.
Point (1) is false, but my response did not address this, and there are others here who are already attempting to address this.
I responded that point (2) is also false -- the theory of evolution relies on evidence that has nothing to do with the origin of life whatsoever. It does not matter how life originated or whether we will ever know how life originated. If you wish to discuss why the origin of life is relevant to the validity of the theory of evolution, then please explain why, and respond to the points in my post. Otherwise, concede that abiogenesis is largely irrelevant to the theory of evolution and we might be able to move on to the other points you wish to discuss.

    Back to topic.
    Quite right. We shouldn't hijack the thread to talk about the personal, um, attributes of other members.
    So, I will invite Mirabile_Auditu to discuss the points in the opening post.
    In particular, I would like to verify that his points were:
    (1) that science has proven that abiogenesis is impossible or very unlikely, and
    (2) that evolutionists are disengenuous in refusing to link abiogenesis to the theory of evolution.
    I would especially like him to comment on my response to the second point.

    You know, RAZD, I think it's extremely bad form to drag any posters record from elsewhere onto this board. If he's bad as you say he is, it will quickly become apparent but he should be allowed to make his own impressions here without you heckling him.

    I agree with that. Children may be told not to touch the fire, but until they know how it feels, they don't know how it feels. LOL
    A L L efforts to include this man in reasoned discussion were a failure.
    To everyone else:
    We are simply telling of our experience and the scathing insults and malignings at his hands. Aside from that, I have personal issues with him. I hinted at those. If I had wanted to do more, I would have done so.

    Hi Chiroptera,
    As an addendum to your post, I would repeat my previous question:
    mick writes:
    mirabile writes:
    Darwin's apologists are extremely eager to dissociate themselves from abiogenesis.
    Could you give me some examples from the scientific literature
    Furthermore I would like Mirabile to give me some examples of biologists who are studying abiogenesis but reject evolutionary theory.
    Mick

    Meanwhile after only a few exchanges here, I find the arrogant condescension of the "EVOLUTIONISTS" offensive and inappropriate, but wholly consistent with the ongoing debate.
    C'mon Mirabile, lighten up. They're not a bad bunch here and the fundi slights are just displays of weaknesses employed when arguments don't stand completely by themselves...and should be recognised as such. Sure... it's something we all do from time to time.
    Do stick around though, it'll be fun observing the responses to some of your arguments - which to this evo novice - seem informed
