We're not talking about food or digestion.
We're talking about how something can change into something else over time.

What is the difference between adaptation and evolution?
Adaptations are what individual organisms have, like longer beaks, darker fur, lighter skin, better oxygen carrying capacity, etc. Evolution is the change in a population over time.
So basically evolution is a collection of adaptations at the POPULATION level over a period of time.

Its called Speciation.

Nobody believes that life "evolved" from non-life...
Most scientists believe that a mixture of non-living amino acids evolved into some form of life over a period of time.

Ahh, abiogensis, not evolution.

Evolution requires a living biological precursor for natural selection to act upon. By definition evolution cannot be used to describe life coming from non-life...which is why there exists a separate idea called abiogenesis.

I'm confused
a + b will always equal b + a
if a = 1
and b = 2
a + b = 3
b + a = 3
you can't have a different a in one equation than the other than it would be a + b and than b + c or c+a

It's because you're using real numbers.
It didn't always apply outside of real numbers, or for matrices, etc.

Yes, it is.
All I have done is follow evolution backwards to the beginning of life and state there is no evidence that life evolved from non-life even though some people have blind faith that it did.

Do you realize that MANY people, believers and non-believers alike, accept evolution but reject abiogenesis?

Again... Evolution takes over when life exists, not when it doesn't. I'll ask again, how dense are you? Are you the same guy that thinks the government would be responsible for your daughter becoming a prostitute?

So scientists gave their original starting point of evolution of life from non-life a special name.
That doesn't change their claim that life evolved from non-life.

You don't understand what it means to evolve, its really that simple.

Can science really explain the origins of life? I'd like to hear it?

Sure I do. You just have no evidence that life evolved from non-life.

Yes, abiogenesis is a very plausible explanation whose mechanism has been demonstrated multiple times with multiple different controls in the lab.
That doesn't mean we have nearly the extensive evidence for origins that we do for evolution (which is considered undisputed in principle in the scientific community) but that we have a very good working idea of what very well could have occurred.
What science still struggles with is the origins of matter and the universe, but that is a physics question not a biological one.

Ken Hamm on that really well

By definition life cannot evolve from non-life, because evolution requires a living precursor. Nothing that happens prior to life existing is evolution.
