Also, the construct "just a theory" in your post leads me to believe that you don't understand the importance of a theory in the scientific hierarchy of understanding. In other words, you're equivocating two different connotations of the word "theory".
Perhaps you should have paid more attention in your high-school science classes.
Ok, so let me just ask you directly...can you give me your best empirical evidence which supports abiogenesis?? If you can't, then you can spare me all the bio-babble.
well, the fact that all life on earth, and virii. -- which consist of nothing but an RNA strand -- use the same five amino bases is a good sign that they have a common origin; and consider how primitive a virus is, it seems that abiogenetic selection is indicated. Furthermore, we've observed simple RNA evolve into comle, strands, meaning that chemical evolution has been observed. The obvious interpretation is that RNA evolved from precursor molecules ... Perhaps we'll see this in the lab one day.
As far as the "biobabble", it's pretty easy to grasp. You ought to check it out some time.
Finally, it'll be interesting to see the changes in your viewpoint once you apply this apparent thirst for evidence to your own premises.
