Evolution is a non-starter unless and until it can explain how life began but all evolutionists believe that in principle evolution explains the origins of life. It is the only naturalistic theory available to them and they dogmatically insist its up to the task, but in reality all they have is hand-waving and speculation against extremely improbable odds.

No, evolution says: We KNOW the Earth was once inhabited by sea creatures, and then it was inhabited by land animals, and then it was inhabited by giant reptiles, and then it was inhabited by giant birds, and then it was inhabited by small birds and large mammal. And this is the best explanation available at this time for how those transitions occurred, subject to further refinement.



That is not what evolution says at all: it says we have a fully naturalistic mechanism that explains the origin and diversity of life on this planet. The problem is the mechanism is demonstrably incapable of explaining either. It is a failed theory.


You are wrong.
Cosmology struggles to determine the origin of the universe. There are several conficting theories. A wise man admits we have no definitive answer.

Abiogenisis is a study of how living cells could emerge from the primordial ooze. Once again, no clear answers are available.

Evolution is how those original living cells, no matter the source, became the complex organisms extant on the Earth today, as well as the millions or billions of organisms long extinct. The evidence to support evolution is overwhelm8ngbto any who would look at it with an open mind.

But does scripture not tell us to ignore anything which MIGHT come between one and his faith in what he believes God to be.



You are conflating the three fields of study in an effort to discredit one field.
