There are two topics that are unrelated to abiogenesis, but nevertheless interesting. The abiogenesis topic seems to be finished, somehow.

I'm curious, what exactly would make evolution seem either unlikely or flat out false to you?



In the 1980s there was the last big chance for creationists to see evolution disproved: the genetic record. If science had found the DNA of species all different, without evidence of a common ancestor, we had to give up evolution and think about a different theory.

However, to the dismay of creationists the genetic record confirmed evolution.

Which is why I'm so frustrated with the way evolutionists use the courts to keep open discussion out of the classroom.



In fact it was creationism that at first tried to use the courts for propagating their faith. Science had to react to prevent that the US education system became the laughing stock of the world.

If students had to study creationism, what would then prevent astrologers to obtain a court order for teaching astrology in school? Or witchcraft, daemonism, flat earth, geocentrism, or voodoo?
