I always wonder which side of the debate put those videos together. But with the creationist already being a parody there is no need to make stuff up about them. Its easy to see some creationist firmly believing that such drivel has some meaning.

<sigh> Can someone please teach these... <ahem> people... that evolution is not abiogenesis. I mean, just look at the difference in spelling! |

Understanding the difference between evolution and abiogenesis requires that one be teachable. A skill that looks to be foreign to many creationist, or at least politically inexpedient.

Acceptance of abiogenesis seems the obvious ultimate consequence of acceptance of evolutionary theory, though.

With the obvious difference that evolution is a well-founded scientific theory backed by mountains of experimental data, while abiogenesis is plausible speculation with evidence for the earliest phase only.

Acceptance of abiogenesis seems the obvious ultimate consequence of acceptance of evolutionary theory, though. Er, no. One does not need accept that life may have arisen from non-life in order to accept that the allele frequency of a population changes over time, any more than one must accept that humans at one time did not communicate verbally in order to accept that languages change over time. |
