Before there can be evolution, there must be abiogenesis. It is the foundation on which evolution must rest; without it, evolution cannot even be considered.
What is abiogenesis? It is the theory that fully formed living organisms can arise from non-living matter. It has been fully refuted, with the Encyclopaedia Britannica stating positively, “It may now be stated definitely that all known living organisms arise only from pre-existing living organisms.” This proves true the declaration of Scripture, and what we see with our eyes, that every living thing exists by reproduction, either by the seed which its parent produces, whether apples, oranges, animals, or man, or by mitosis (cell division), in the case of microscopic animals. Life does not come into existence from non-life.
Why is evolution dependent upon abiogenesis? The theory of evolution only deals with pre-existing matter; that is, one thing that was living evolved into another thing. It does not address how the original living thing came into existence. For it to be an explanation of the origin of life, it must address and include abiogenesis, which it does not, and which it cannot, for it was disproved in 1668.
Evolution is a house without a foundation, it is a false theory for the explanation of life, because life can only come from life. God has made it this way.
