Hi everyone, this is my first shot at a new topic.... so don't be too harsh on me!
​
My question is can we consider Abiogenesis a fact?
Evolution is both a fact and a theory.
​
Fact - Living things change over time
​
The theory of evolution is our attempt to explain the process behing this.
​
So can we say:
​
Fact - There used to be no life on earth. There is now life on earth. Therefore life arose from non-life.
​
The theory of abiogenesis is how we attempt to explain the process.
​
I am not asking if the theory of abiogenesis is true, only whether we can consider it a fact that abiogenesis happened (although we could certainly discuss abiogenesis).
​
Also note, even if we consider it a fact that abiogenesis happened it does not preclude a god or god(s) causing it to happpen.
​
So can we consider abiogensis a factual occurence based on available evidence?
