- Oh get off it Kalki. I have seen two theories for the origin of life.
- One is abiogenesis, the other creationism.
-
- So lets compare these theories. What evidence do we have for
- abiogenesis?
-
- Well scientists have placed gases in a container, zapped it with
- electricity and created the building blocks of life. Not life, but
- getting close. There might even be more evidence, you'd have to ask
- others more knowledgeable on talk.origins.
-
- What evidence do we have for creationism?
-
- There is no physical evidence for a creator.
-
- So which one do we support? Take a guess Kalki.
-
- Instead of blasting abiogenesis present the evidence for your pet
- theory. Post your theory and list the evidence for it. Then we'll
- compare it side by side with abiogenesis and see how the two stack up.

- P.S. Remember Kalki, abiogenesis is NOT evolution. There are
- creationists who accept evolution, but not abiogenesis. Abiogenesis
- is a theory about the origin of life. Evolution is the fact that
- there is a change in the gene pool of a population over time.
