Question
Hello again Florence,a while ago I wrote and you said that there  is no evidence of creation at all and that evolution is fact.Evolution is science and creation is religion basically.Two questions then. 1. Please give me SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE that organic life can arise from non-organic material? 2. Show EVIDENCE that symbiotic relationships in nature favor evolution rather than creation

Answer
Hi again, Kevin:  I see you are still asking questions that have no answers.

1.  There is plenty of evidence that abiogenesis can occur:

2.  Symbiosis is the close and long term interactions between species.  To suggest that neither one can live without the other (as in lichens) does not mean that they never could.  This phenomenon is called co-evolution, where two species evolve together.  Similar phenomena can be found in the pollination of plants by insects, bats, animals, etc.

You don't seem to understand that science is a PROCESS for finding things out.  It's not a series of facts to be memorized (although it can sometimes seem that way to beginners!).
