RE: One step closer to proving abiogenesis? Scientists create "Near-Living Crystal"

The problem lies in the fact that abiogenesis has been one of the more hated scientific theories. To turn around and pretend that there was never any contradiction will cause problems. Some Christians work evolution into their faith, I was one of them. A great many steadfastly refuse to do that.
Christianity will never be eliminated by scientific discovery, this I understand. But, it will continue to be marginalized. And, the bigger the divide between the strict and loose Biblical interpretation camps, the more of the loose ones will decide that there's not much point to the whole thing.
The biggest issue this raises for Christianity is not changing the minds of current believers, but planting nonsense in the minds of new believers. It is going to keep getting harder and harder to do that when kids learn about how the world really works at school and God is nowhere mentioned.
