Children are not taught that because that is not what ToE says. Life did not come from evolution.
It’s the problem I have identified a dozen times over.
There is no single theory of evolution, ToE , indeed some of what is called a theory isn’t in scientific terms. Evolution is a mixture of a few theories , some hypothesis all joined with a big dollup of conjecture.
So Called chemical evolution may or may not be Abiogenesis, which may be an event or a gradual slide into life.
The definitions are changed to suit the latest atheist / humanist / materialist misrepresentation of origin of life.
I didn’t make the false dichotomies of creation vs evolution( sometimes misrepresented as origin of life ) or science vs faith.
But the very dichotomy of evolution set against creation by definition implies start of life too.
I can tell you a lot of kids echo them , who got it from somewhere! Someone taught them nonsense, Which led to my post.
Meanwhile the bottom line:
1/ nobody has any evidence of when where or how abiogenesis “ first life “ happened. It cannot be repeated and doesn’t repeat , there is no postulated structure for it, ( which is the only other way into science) so it is not even a valid hypothesis. There is nothing to test. So Not even a hypothesis. That’s the voice of science.
2/ by the very definition of life used by such as NASA and Harvard “ self sustaining, capable of Darwinian evolution” life is irreducibly complex!!
A forbidden word , but provably true as consequence of definitions ( argue with them not me)
3/ since we don’t know what first life structure was, nobody has a clue on what the building blocks were that came together or whether they existed . Brick buildings need bricks. Wooden houses need wood!
So Miller Urey was a complete red herring! Decide a structure first, then . You know what bricks to look for!
4/ from the unknown structure of the first life, with unknown genome, nobody has a clue about how it developed to the simplest cells we know today which are horrendously complex In chemical terms. No known steps on the way.
So origin and evolution of life is a complete BLANK at cell level! There is nothing. Nada . Zilch.
Everyone admits RNA world is a non starter as a realistic first life structure, but it’s just the least worst option.
The only game in town.
5/ If you look out the window most of what you see, from garden plants, crops, trees, domestic animals and farm animals are all product of intelligent design by man! Man did what he does best. Noticed patterns and used them! ( another forbidden word) so yes “evolution” exists ( as in using observed genetics to breed longer legs)
But that is only one meaning for an overused word.
6/ so what wins the evidence war ? Easy. creation.
recently Living heart tissue from bread in eucharistic miracles.
Score creation 5 abiogenesis 0
Disproving Darwin’s theory too by the failure criteria he defined ( his was progressive small change) .
