Cummin: <<The basic assumption of Evolution is that nature creates complexity.>>
Is it ? I would disagree here. Although this might be a side effect, it is not imho a basic assumption of evolution.
Cummin: <<But, as far as I can tell by many Evolutionists, spontaneous generation is the basic assumption: Life appears (don't know how, just God didn'tdo it). From that point, it evolves, or it doesn't evolve, it gains compleixty, or it doesn't, etc.>>
Spontaneous generation is not relevant to evolution.

And doing quite well there as well. Of course Joseph's continued attempt to misrepresent shows that he is not interested in scientific examination.

The basic assumption of Evolution is that nature creates complexity.
But, as far as I can tell by many Evolutionists, spontaneous generation
is the basic assumption: Life appears (don't know how, just God didn't
do it). From that point, it evolves, or it doesn't evolve, it gains
compleixty, or it doesn't, etc.

Specific beliefs regarding spontanious generation were disproven.
Evolutionists still believe in spontanious generation, they are still
looking for a version that can withstand even a little scientific
examination.

is the basic assumption: Life appears (don't know how, just God didn't

Specific beliefs regarding spontanious generation were disproven.
Evolutionists still believe in spontanious generation, they are still
looking for a version that can withstand even a little scientific
examination.
