Erm..., where have I heard this before?
Could it have been the Garden of Eden story? Where Adam was created from dust and Eve came from one of his ribs.....?
And you call the ToE fantastic! At least the abiogenesis hypothesis has some experimental backing, even if it's not yet conclusive.

Then by all means lets take a look at this evidence. If you know that there is evidence you should be able to show us some of it.
I'm not going to be difficult, we can start with one or two pieces of this evidence.
Oh and speaking of evidence, would you mind refuting any of the following evidence for evolution. Lets start with one. Any one. |

Verlch: "You live in a fantasy world where creatures arise out of nothing and perpetuate their existence via nothing!:"
And you live in a fantasy world where 555 + 110 = 666, where 666 is a Satanic number, and a website that says that the White House is NOT on Lot number 666, in fact says that the White House IS on Lot 666. |

Registered nurse! For cripes sake, they have to have quite a bit of science for that. How could she know nothing about what's in the sky!?!?! Incurious. Wow. |
