Russ, it looks like we need to refresh your memory. YOU started an abiogenesis thread in the creationism-evolution forum and had a discussion there with RAZD.

Abiogenesis (Greek a-bio-genesis, "non biological origins") is the formation of life from non-living matter. (from Wikipedia).

Simply stated, abiogenesis is the theory that rocks "evolve" into cells.

It's indicative of what your concepts of "truth" and "honesty" are when you quote from wikipedia for what abiogenesis means but then use your slogan straw man instead of what the article actually says:

Abiogenesis (Greek a-bio-genesis, "non biological origins") is the formation of life from non-living matter. Today the term is primarily used to refer to the chemical origin of life, such as from a 'primordial soup' or in the vicinity of hydrothermal vents, and most probably through a number of intermediate steps, such as non-living but self-replicating molecules (biopoiesis). The current models of abiogenesis are still being scientifically tested.
As has been pointed out to you, you are leaving out the intermediate steps in order to make a strawman argument, your hallmark "rocks turn into humans" claim. Quite a lot of information has been posted in that forum about abiogenesis. I wonder why you have come over here and have made your original claims all over again, with no evidence of having digested what has been said elsewhere.
As I said, I had not intended to bring the debate over here. Why don't you make your claims about abiogenesis in the designated thread, put your creationist-solar system vid in an appropriate thread there too, and I will watch it. Who is it, Hovind again?
