And how life began in the first place is largely irrelevant to the theory of evolution because, whether you believe life on earth was seeded by cosmic garbage or the hand of god, it doesn't change the theory of evolution one bit. Evolution does present quite a hurdle to the mankind was created in god's image types though.
If your worldview cannot account for the origin of life, the very thing that is a prerequisite for evolution in the first place, then as I stated earlier, Creationism is superior in explanatory scope and power.

Come on, kid. Take an intro to logic class and pick up a book sometime.
I think you may have meant to post this to someone else's post. It certainly is not pertinent to what I wrote to Deidre.

Where did I call adhering to scientific truths scientism?
