Life's origins, abiogenesis and Darwinian evolution

For whatever reasons, which are irrelevant to the context of the article, many Darwinian evolutionists deny that, or insist that, Darwinian evolution has nothing to do with, has nothing to say about and simply does not deal with life’s origins.
Moreover, they claim that it does not because it is not meant to, it is not supposed to deal with it because Darwinian evolution is about the change that occurs to organisms which already exist. In short, they claim that Darwinian evolution deals with life and not with how life came into being.

For our current purposes go ahead and grant that to the Darwinian evolutionists: fine, you do not need to account for the origins of life.
Now, many Darwinian evolutionists are not content to have found a preferred theory about biology but they deleteriously turn Darwinian evolution into a worldview. A byproduct of committing this logical and scientific fallacy is that the Darwinian evolutionists who are also Atheists turn Darwinian evolution into a worldview which they think has something to say about God’s existence. They claim that Darwinian evolution makes God superfluous: an unnecessary addition.

Now, what is it about organisms changing that makes God superfluous? Well, Darwinian evolutionists conclude that small changes within species (which is scientifically observable) add up to changes from one species into another species (which is a conclusion based on interpretation of evidence).

Finally, they regress this idea, applying it to prehistoric past and conclude that changes from species to species means that all species are related, that they all came from one source (the mythological crypto-zoological creature, the “common ancestor”).

Now, what is it about there being a common ancestor that makes God superfluous? Well, as with change within organisms or change from one organism to another the answer is: nothing.

These things have nothing to do with God’s existence. They many step on particular theological toes but really have nothing to do with God’s existence.

The bottom line, within the parameters of this article, is that the best thing that a Darwinian evolutionist can claim is that 1) Darwinian evolution does not deal with life’s origins and also that 2) Darwinian evolution disproves God’s existence.

This is a great combination for the non-Darwinian evolutionists theist because the changes undergone by organisms have nothing to do with God’s existence and since the Darwinian evolutionists does not deal with life’s origins then they cannot even claim that God is unnecessary because life can just happen all by itself.

In short, Darwinian evolutionists are inviting you to disprove their fallacious conclusion based on their very own standard. This is the very best sort of refutation: grant someone’s position and show how they discredit themselves.
