Nah, it's where I say evolutionists are terrified of abiogenesis because it's a scientific and biological house of cards, not a great foundation for what comes next.
Enough of the strawmen. This thread is not supposed to be a showcase for your ignorance.
Awww you think I care about what you think, that is sweet.
The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying
tao te ching
Dhammapada
Hua Hu Ching
yoga vashista
The Essen gospels
different vedas
But it is the base assumption when dealing with something familiar: it will behave as we have previously observed.
See, you are confusing me. First you address creationists directly in your challenge, then you say it's not about creationism, then you make it sound like creationists own the monopoly on pseudo science, then you say you don't care what they believe and you are fine with having god in a lab, then you turn around again and say that there is no science to support it...and you are okay with that?
You are all over the board here.

Actually they don't, what they must do is accept that they are inextricably linked and that is all.
If evolution is equal to a large 30 story building, abiogenesis is equal to the underground parking underneath the building, it is only a few percentages in size and scope of the total structure, but structurally it's important to the building above it, they are linked.
It's a choice to ignore the logic.

Don't like the way the discussion goes, just label it ignorant and "strawman" to shut posters down.
No, the way to go is to stick a wedge into that 'room for reasonable doubt' that all scientific investigation must allow for. Exploit the reasons why we accept that nothing can ever be proven for certain. Insist that, however firmly the arrow of evidence points towards undirected evolution and even abiogenesis, science can't show that it had to happen that way.
Nonsense. Abiogenesis isn't part of evolution, it never has been. They operate on completely different mechanisms. The ONLY thing they have in common is that the environment affects both of them. Evolution is true whether life was created or it emerged on its own. Evolution is not dependent on abiogenesis.
A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that is acquired through the scientific method and repeatedly tested and confirmed through observation and experimentation.
