everything can happen , no matter the chance is not zero .
What I am talking about is you can't just get a wrong answer (evolution ) to the origin of Life .

Evolution isn't about the origin of life.

You should just say "I don't know " , otherthan poisoning the youths by saying most of us believe in a wrong answer and publish it in every textbooks for kids!

I reviewed science textbooks, and I have never seen one that said abiogenesis is a fact. I know a book that does, though.

It's called "The Bible."

Darwin never proposed a mechanism for the origins of life. What you're referring to is abiogenesis, not darwinian evolution.

If you disagree then perhaps you could share Darwin's explanation.

Here's what Darwin thought:
There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed by the Creator into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being evolved.

Last sentence of On the Origin of Species.

James Hutton also referred to God in his early writings. They knew that their ideas challenged preconceived literalist ideas. But nothing stops truth. Here we are 300 years later

Thanks. That exactly is the point .For most of the laymen , they say that Darwin's theory provide the answer to the origin of life. That is wrong. It is sad to see this all over the textbooks to poison the youths

So why did you bring up this supposed law?

I don't know. No one knows. What I do know is that we share common ancestry with other species.

Wrong , we don't know we share common ancestry with other species also. We believe in God but we don't know many things .

We are human =Humbled Man .God prevent us from knowing all these to humble us.

God is not a fool . Those want to believe God in their own ways are fools.

I'm not going to call creationists fools. They happen to be in error, but that doesn't mean they don't love God, or that their salvation is lost.

Never saw one that did.

My textbook in high school, which was authored by Kenneth Miller, never suggested that the theory of evolution regarded the origins of life. In fact, Kenneth Miller himself is a catholic and believes in creation. The text book also of course describes evolution and how it occurs.

Ok, so you aren't actually talking about evolution then, you are talking about abiogenesis. Thank you for clarifying.

Not me to call them fools . Bible said this. May be they don't believe what is written.

There is only one way to Heaven . Not many make it.

You look at the current big book (Worldbook 2019 L book Life chapter ) ,it is a book specially for the youths.

It mentioned that most scientists agreed with abiogenesis( chemical evolution).


This is the popular books that are continue to poison the youths in the most subtle way.

The Bible doesn't say either way it's compatible with evolution and with most forms of creationism.

There is only one way to Heaven .

But what you think of evolution won't matter.

But no science textbooks? Guess why. It's true that most scientists think life came from the earth. It's just not a settled theory at this time.

However, God says it did,which is good enough for me.
