CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I agree, but the hurdles that must be overcome to explain it are pretty extensive and takes intelligent input to even do it. No matter what they find in the long run, they couldn't have done it without their own intelligent input to do it.

I suggest reading up on "spontaneous generation". It's an ancient belief in abiogenesis and was quite common, even in Europe.

Most admit that enough time does not exist
for the accidental formation of life. Especially given
the precarious nature of the imagined process.
Tens of millions of vital cornerstones are needed for
most imagined series of events to unfold.

That is not what I meant. You have a choice and to have that chose there can be nothing that will be an absolute God thing. He always leaves room for doubt and this is where your faith comes in. It is not blind faith. You have to have reason to trust and have faith. It doesn't just happen.

Spontaneous generation and abiogensis are completely different things. Spontaneous generation was the belief that things like maggots and flies came from decay material like rotting meat. They didn't know that flies were laying eggs in the stuff and that's how they reproduced. That is NOT what abiogenesis proposes.

It's the same basic concept: life arising from non-life. Abiogenesis is the modern version of it.

No, it's not. As the link I provided explains.
Cool, competing links! They're basically the same, as the link I provide explains:

Funnily enough, Merriam-Webster's Medical Dictionary also defines Spontaneous Generation as abiogenesis.

Are there any dictionaries that don't?
