"there is no evidence to suggest that any current species living on the planet appeared, or evolved from, an abiogenesis"
What evidence would you need to see that would not also be present if they appeared or evolved from an abiogenesis at any point in time?
No my OP question was "How do...
My intention was not to make evolution false.
I believe there is some form of evolution mechanism going on. I am not tied to any of the specific theories and I believe at this point that more than one mechanism is involved.
"But it would be even more rare for it to occur on a living planet then on a lifeless planet"
That seems counter to logic. If the conditions needed to sustain living things is present wouldn't that be the best conditions for inorganic material to form into an organic life form?
"No. Just that the species we observe today evolved from the species that have survived in the past."
How do you know the species today were not also a result of abiogenesis after a mass extinction if you are not sure abiogenesis stopped?
Thanks and we have some common ground then!
I believe there are some other mechanisms of evolution at play and that is why I brought up the subject of mass extinctions and it may mean abiogenesis, seeding by design or possibly a built in code in DNA that is triggered by environmental stressors...
The defensiveness of some of the members is quite overboard. I am trying to bridge a gap so that we can discuss other theories of the origin of life but as soon as you mention intelligent design even without a God some of these guys go nuts.
Wow- you sure are defensive!
"Some of the theories might explain it better, some not."
We agree on that.
"But evolution in general, in its totality, doesn't have to explain it. "
I did not say you had to explain it. Just wondering if your personal theory of evolution did account for those...
" The species we see today DID evolve from the species that survived these extinction events."
Just to clarify- you are saying no abiogenesis was taking place during this period?
How do you explain that abiogenesis would just stop?
I am just trying to understand your personal theory of...
The mechanisms "processes" are the theories and each one is a theory.
You are confusing the science of evolution which has many theories to a theory of overall evolution.
Is this an evolutionary theory or mechanism?
Symbiogenesis, or endosymbiotic theory, is an evolutionary theory that...
If you seen creationism in my post please quote it?
Do you see any evolution of life from inorganic life during that 200 million year period?
I believe that with all those extinctions and limitation of gene pool you would not find the vast number of vary different life forms that we see on...
"the species which currently exist evolved from the species that didn't go extinct"
Now you are greatly limiting your gene pool which also reduces the number of different species that would result.
End Permian, 251 million years ago, 96% of species lost

So all life on...
No you added more to the quote that did nothing to undermine what was said in the OP.
That is a tactic to avoid debating the substance of the post.
Care to try again?
The evolutionists often defend their theories by saying it took billions of years for life to evolve into the forms we see today.
Actually, the majority of life forms we see today happened in the much much shorter space of less than 200 million years. That is a short space of time when you...
Just a fun mental experiment to test your theories of evolution or Intelligent Design on.
Please do not go google someone else's explanation and post it.
Please explain how you came to your conclusion.
