This is actually about abiogenesis, but I'll post it here:
"We can know nothing about the origin of life" (http://networkedblogs.com/l32UC)
Falsehood!!!
Sometimes people say that because it seems reasonable to them ... what, with life originating so long ago and so much geological mushing-around happening since then. But sometimes people say that, and sound quite innocent in saying it, because they want to throw the average person off track and make them think that Evolutionary Biology has this big gap ... at the beginning ... in which any-old kind of story can fit, including a supernatural or religious story, or even just a spiritual Jungian story, or anything but a story about molecules interacting.
So, the purpose of this blog post, the one you are reading right now, is to be handy, to point to, to produce a link to, in answer to that question. Every time somebody says "We can know nothing about the origin of life bla bla bla" you respond with a link to this post. In the mean time, if you think there is something missing in this post that should be conveyed to anyone making that argumen, add it to the comments.
