Even scientists make assumptions, Darwinian. One cannot interpret or give meaning to any fact or evidence without making some assumptions. To conclude that evolution (common descent) is true the way it is generally presented, one must at the very least assume a single first life form from which every other life form descended (this excludes the possibility of more than one initial life form). This is an assumption that has no evidence to support it as far as I know. One must take this by faith. Without this assumption, evolution (common descent) as it is generally presented is false (if all life forms descended from two or more initial life forms, then all life forms would not share a common anscestor).

I assume your comments were directed at me. In response...I demanded nothing from Darwinian. I merely made an observation from my point of view. I have been accused of making circular arguments here and I was merely pointing out that Darwinian's arguments appeared circular.
