A point that should be kept in mind in our threads is that Creation and Evolution are two very different things.
Darwin evolution is a fact. Just look at a toy poodle and remind yourself that it's ancestor was a wolf. Evolution is all around us. We can see it we can create and control it.
But Darwin's warm pond theory of the beginning of life does not carry a lot weight with most theorist today. We cannot create life; we can only help it evolve. (At least today, maybe someday that will change and we will know a lot more than we do now.)
While some may propose quantum superpositions others may propose God. (I favor the quantum theory with an element of design, not by God but by I don't know what.)
What we believe about the beginnings of life is not my point. My point is that the Bible crowd needs to acknowledge evolution, species do change, and the pure chance crowd needs to understand that you can't make evolution alone account for the BEGINNING of life.
The origin of life is a far more complex feature than evolution. And while it may be chance and it may be a creator, we simply do not know.
But evolution and start of life are not the same issue or the same process. They are not interchangeable terms.
