But how is that a deal breaker for evolution? You're talking about this "driver" that initiated self replicating proteins. That's abiogenesis and not evolution. How many times must people point out that the two are not one and the same?
Evolution does not exclude a creator. It is a fact. It is real. It is observable. It is repeatable.
Abiogenesis on the other hand is where unanswered questions remain.
However, speciation by means of evolution and natural selection are beyond question.
