    To avoid confusion, its important to note that the last two posts are from July 24 - one from Jim Armstrong and one from myself. They have both been answered.

    But while I'm here, I would like to clarify my point to George written this morning in post:

    http://www.calvin.edu/archive/asa/200307/0614.html

    George had written:

    > The "phenomenon that Science can't explain" is the emergence of terrestrial life
    >between ~ 3 & 4 billion years ago.
    >

    To which I replied:

    I'm sorry to belabour the point, but my argument has nothing to do with the universally recognized fact that life had a beginning on earth.

    My point is that there is no evidence for abiogenesis, which I take to be defined as "the emergence of life from non-living matter through natural processes."
    --- End Quote----

    I would like to reiterate the clarification that the my point is *not* about what science can or can not explain. My point is about the lack of *evidence* for a hypothetical phenomenon.
