Ok, but this justify Philip's claim.

There are many theories as to how it started exactly and each in
themselves demonstrates how it COULD have happened. We don't know
which, if any of the current, was the actual way it started, but in
principle they're all the same.

Just saying that non-life can't beget life doesn't prove anything. The
theory of evolution EXPLAINS how non-life could have begot life.

When we're dealing with 3.5 billion years of history, it is unlikely
that we will ever know every detail about every organism. I suspect
that whatever advances are made you will always be able to find
something to flag up as a "problem" with the theory that justifies you
claiming it's 50/. Before the discovery of DNA the criticism by
anti-evolutionists was that there was no mechanism and so it was just a
theory. Before the discovery of nuclear power they couldn't see how the
sun could have been burning long enough to allow all this evolution to
happen.
To maintain the creationists stance requires a belief in goal posts
moving faster than the speed of light, no wonder they don't like Einstein.

Oh ok them, I'll just listen to your sermons and keep my knowledge of
science to myself.
