Of course you would, and you would like to omit many other things as well.

Fine, let's add abiogenesis into the mix as start with it.

Can a compound of iron and oxygen be the "simplest stable form"? How about ethanol or sugar...are they "simplest stable forms"? Amino acids? Proteins? Lipids? RNA? DNA? Are they in their simplest stable form?

Ok. Starting at "ground" level, what is it about the "settling" of matter into its "simplest stable form" that prevents formation of amino acids?

When you begin with rocks and water, simplest stable forms are, well, simple.

More complex forms are only "stable" when they are in a complex environment. But how do you get a complex environment from rocks and water?

1. Volcanic activity.
2. Dissolving of elements and compounds into the water.
3. Discharge of static electricity (Lightning).
4. Water current flow caused by heating by the Sun.
5. Catalytic effect of mineral substrates.

You can't, unless, of course, these environments are intelligently created.
I never said they weren't intelligently created. Right now, the differences between YEC's, You, and me, is when and by what method that intelligent creation occurred.

Problem is, all of these subjects are intimately connected.

Evolution attempts (poorly) to explain cell to man, but what about rock to cell.

Creation solves all of these problems, not only elegantly, but with sufficient evidence.
Without using the Bible and without using any direct reference to evolution or abiogenesis, please identify the positive evidence for the direct and recent creation of life on Earth.
