I usually never read threads on the "other" side of the forum, but I did read
this one, and I think that you have a P.O.T.M. reply here, Percy! I particularly like this quote:
Percy writes:
How existing life forms changes over time is evolution. How life originally came to exist is the origin of life. Within the science of biology, this distinction has been in place at least since Darwin, whose book was titled Origin of Species, not Origin of Life. If you look at the table of contents of Darwin's book you'll see that he never addresses the subject of the origin of life.
Where people get the idea that the theory of evolution is a threat (or a counter-religion) to the origin of life is beyond me!
Randman, if you are reading this, know that we do not intentially attack you personally, but, rather, continually and calmly point out the flaws in your logic. Perhaps we can all pause a moment here and remember the O.P. of this topic:

First, Darwin and no one has ever come out with a good explanation for how life arose in the first place.
Secondly, using the theory of evolution to assert atheism...is a fundamental misuse of science...
It appears that your original premise is that many evolutionists (or other "questionable characters") DO this. Am I right or
WRONG?Of course, I can forgive you because you also said in Post#1

Heb 4:12-13--
For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.Holy Spirit--speaking through the Apostle Paul
