Evolution: is it necessary to know how life ultimately began in order to study and debate the evidence that evolution has since occurred? [Spirituality & Religion]
If you think it is, why do you think so? Can you explain that reasoning for me?
I ask because i've encountered a creationist's position that the evidence for evolution can be ignored if we don't know how life began. I point out that the theory of gravitation still allows us to study the interactions of matter without knowing how it came to be but this apt comparison appears to be ignored.
Since i've received no explanation from the parties involved, i'm coming to YOU! So. Thoughts?馃檪

I don't think it's necessary to have other than an informed idea...but the god-squad always seem to insist on detail.. then ignore it if you do give it.. and it's kinda funny they do that because their own argument consists of.. god did it/god says so.. which is pretty full of holes when you consider that they are counting on a mythical idea that has NO evidence behind it
@Adaydreambeliever The thing about science is that "I don't know, yet" is an acceptable answer. Only control freaks have to have an explanation for everything.
