In an established ecosystem we think of predation as being a help,
weeding out the unfit; and we think it natural that an equilibrium should
arise. But abiogenesis is different, it could be a one-time event.
As such it doesn't fit with either evolutionary or steady-state thinking.

Darwinism doesn't explain the original abiogenesis, it only explains
the process that abiogenesis began. While ID, as usual, explains
everything; then, now, and forever.
