The Origins of life.

Really? How do you come to that conclusion?

All theories about the beginning of life are theories...if you have a provable explanation i would like to know how you proved it.

Evolution makes no claim on the origins of life. What you're talking about is the concept known as abiogenesis, different kettle of fish.

Evolution (also known as biological, genetic or organic evolution) is the change in the inherited traits of a population of organisms through successive generations.

In natural science, abiogenesis or biopoesis is the study of how life on Earth could have arisen from inanimate matter.

I don't get it. You think science is somehow a good way to justify beliefs (at least it seems so from this topic) but on the other hand you reject the current scientific paradigms when you don't like them.

Can't agree with that! DNA is real. Very similar but separate species have very similar but different DNA profiles. Random mutations definitely happen. Advantageous genetic traits definitely spread through a population. How is that not proof of evolution?
