From my observations, creationists are more prone to stick to the objective facts.
Ha ha ha ha. I'd be interested in knowing where you made these observations; I have yet to see any actual facts in a creationist post.
Speaking of facts, I am waiting for your reply to a post I wrote that gave a couple of objective facts and detailed how one scientifically deals with these objective facts. I am very interested in your response to this.

So there is still a fairly massive gulf between living organisms and non-living matter.
Viruses also grow, adapt, and reproduce. However, biologists have a lot of trouble in classifying them as definitely living organisms or definitely non-living systems. So, as wide as the gulf is, there is at least one group of things that are in that gulf. In fact, the study of abiogenesis exists to try to figure what sorts of other things might also exist in that gulf that will nicely bridge the gulf between living organisms and non-living matter.

Maybe I don't understand your point. That has happened before.
My point is that whether the gulf between life and non-life is large or small is a matter of perspective.
By the way, welcome to EvC.
