   Another creationist lie. Darwin did not deal with abiogenesis. He did   
   not write about a first cell.

   Please provide the names of some evolutionists who admit what you claim.   
      
   According to mathematicians, such an event would likely take place once   
   every 10^50 opportunity. Same thing with 10^113 power.   
      
   Has a creationist ever told the truth about anything?
