I, one individual among many who accept the science of evolution have a belief that is only tangentially related to the science of evolution.
That belief is this: that at some point in the past, by natural means, living matter emerged by some process from non-living matter.
This belief could be characterized as "spontaneous generation" has probably occurred at least once in the past.
If I am wrong in this belief (which, not having strong empirical evidence to base it upon, I may well be), that has no impact on the theory of evolution which does have strong credibility from empirical evidence.
I believe my position to be fairly typical of those who accept the science of evolution.
