I already said what I had to say, but I will put it another way, if the origin of species isn't synonomous with the origin of life, then the difference is no more than a time frame. The two theories are totally dependent on the other. But then, I am not going to be derailed into an exchange on the semantics involved with these theories. For a poor old ignorant Christian, you have to take things one step at a time to avoid confusing me. Or isn't the purpose of this "discussion" about truth or not.
