The Definitive Guide to Debunking Creationists Part 2: Abiogenesis

We just finished discussing creationist talking points regarding cosmology and planetary science. Now let's check out some things they say regarding abiogenesis, or the origin of life on Earth from non-living matter. This is absolutely inconceivable to any creationist, who insists that life was made nice and special by their deity, whether in its current form or as something more primitive which then evolved to some degree. They do not understand the science behind the origin of life, the research that has been going on in this field for 75 years, and their talking points illustrate this immaculately. Let's clarify a few things together!
