No.  Evolutionary theory is about the way living populations change over time.

Actually, genetics does that.    That's how we know that all living things on Earth have a common ancestor.   Genetics, not evolutionary theory.  Part of this is that you just go with your assumptions, and scientists must go with the evidence.    Why not just admit the fact?

Actually science assumes and believes when it comes to all issues involving origins.

That's wrong.    Science merely goes with the evidence.   And as your fellow YE creationist, Dr. Kurt Wise says, the fossil record is "very good evidence for macroevolutionary theory."

Evidence for the first lifeform? Evidence that nature on earth was the same in Noah's time? No. None. What they do is molest evidence with belief based convictions. Two can play at that game.

 As for the theory of evolution, the standard model in cosmology, the big bang, stellar evolution,  abiogenesis and deep time modelling, they all deal with things Genesis talks about. That also all diametrically oppose Genesis. You cannot have seriously thought that was coincidence.

Yep.   A load of that kind of thing.   Not part of evolutionary theory, of course, but there's lots of evidence for the way the first living things on Earth worked.   Would you like to learn about that?

You were completely taken in on that stuff.   None of it is part of evolutionary theory.   Of course, all those sciences are about things mentioned in Genesis.   As you learned, the origin of life is not part of evolutionary theory, which assumes life began somehow, and just describes how it changes over time.

None of it opposes Genesis, of course.   It opposes your revision of Genesis, but that's quite a different thing.

A load is a great word for supposed evidence for the first lifeform.

Not the tiniest shred of evidence actually. Offer some and find out.

In other words if you totally disbelieve and mutilate Genesis you can pretend that you still believe some of it. We get it. The thing is you cannot do that with actual bible believers. That tells us who your target audience is here. The weak. The uninformed. The confused. Those who have not yet come to a knowledge of the lord and belief. (or those who rejected it)

Yes, in your own words, using link as support, or quoting a bit from link.

 

From your link "In conclusion, it seems probably that we will never know the precise historic path by which life on the Earth emerged, but, very much in the Darwinian tradition, it seems we can now specify the essence of the ahistoric principles by which that process came about. Just as Darwin, in the very simplest of terms, pointed out how natural selection enabled simple life to evolve into complex life, so the recently proposed general theory of evolution [1,7] points out in simplest terms how simple, but fragile, replicating systems could have complexified into the intricate chemical systems of life. But, as discussed earlier, a detailed understanding of that process will have to wait until ongoing studies in systems chemistry reveal both the classes of chemical materials and the kinds of chemical pathways that simple replicating systems are able to follow in their drive towards greater complexity and replicative stability."

 

So total ignoramuses then. OK. Total speculation and belief. Thanks for that

O.K.   For a long time, the block has been amino acids.    Without abiotic AAs, abiogenesis is notfeasible.    For a long time, we know that amino acids and short protein sequences (peptides) have been known to form in space ref. Murchison meteorite.

However...

Ménez, B., Pisapia, C., Andreani, M. et al. Abiotic synthesis of amino acids in the recesses of the oceanic lithosphere. Nature 564, 59–63 (2018). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-018-0684-z

 Here, using a multimodal approach that combines high-resolution imaging techniques, we obtain evidence for the occurrence of aromatic amino acids formed abiotically and subsequently preserved at depth beneath the Atlantis Massif (Mid-Atlantic Ridge). These aromatic amino acids may have been formed through Friedel–Crafts reactions catalysed by an iron-rich saponite clay during a late alteration stage of the massif serpentinites. Demonstrating the potential of fluid-rock interactions in the oceanic lithosphere to generate amino acids abiotically gives credence to the hydrothermal theory for the origin of life, and may shed light on ancient metabolisms and the functioning of the present-day deep biosphere.

It's now known that nucleotides (RNA and DNA are strings of nucleotides) can form spontaneously:
Cafferty, B., Fialho, D., Khanam, J. et al. Spontaneous formation and base pairing of plausible prebiotic nucleotides in water. Nat Commun 7, 11328 (2016). https://doi.org/10.1038/ncomms11328

Spontaneous formation and base pairing of plausible prebiotic nucleotides in water

Here we show that two plausible prebiotic heterocycles, melamine and barbituric acid, form glycosidic linkages with ribose and ribose-5-phosphate in water to produce nucleosides and nucleotides in good yields. Even without purification, these nucleotides base pair in aqueous solution to create linear supramolecular assemblies containing thousands of ordered nucleotides. Nucleotide anomerization and supramolecular assemblies favour the biologically relevant β-anomer form of these ribonucleotides, revealing abiotic mechanisms by which nucleotide structure and configuration could have been originally favoured. These findings indicate that nucleotide formation and selection may have been robust processes on the prebiotic Earth, if other nucleobases preceded those of extant life.

It's notable that the most essential organelle for life of the kind we have on Earth, it the simplest, and spontaneously assembles into vesicles.

All of this shows that there is no scientific reason God was wrong in saying life was brought forth from the Earth.     The evidence clearly indicates that it was.

Would you like to see more?

Nothing is feasible that has no support and only conjecture, especially when God tells us otherwise

Looking at the moon that was likely bomblasted by earth debris in the past (flood year, etc) as well as asteroids that also possibly had an earth origin, it does not mean that what we find there started there.

Since the flood covered the earth in the waters (or much of them) that we now have, we cannot say what pre flood causes may have happened. You seek to attribute all things to a godless scenario

Mixing things in a created water and created planet is not creating things. How things now tend to group doesn't matter.

There was no such thing as some prebiotic planet. That is an invention and fantasy you need. Unless we are talking the first few days of creation before life was made.

There is no reason from any science to claim that He did not Personally form man as He said and operate on the man to make a woman. No evidence suggests otherwise. The context of God bring forth life from the earth was on a day creation week.

The living things which dwell on the earth were created on day six of the creation.  The Bible (which you do NOT accept as God's word) states this in terms so perfectly clear even Joe Biden could understand the meaning.

That's the problem here for a literal reinterpretation of God's word...

Genesis 2:4 These are the generations of the heaven and the earth, when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the heaven and the earth:  5 And every plant of the field before it sprung up in the earth, and every herb of the ground before it grew

But in Genesis 1, the text says that the Earth and plants were created on different days.   They can't both be literally true.   So which one do you think is true?

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
