Evolution does not explain the origin of life; it describes minute change in species over time. This is a common error often cited by Fundies regarding evolution. We are not exactly sure what processes kicked off the earliest simple life forms on prehistoric earth; scientists are however pretty sure that evolution as put forward in Darwin's Origin of Species is fact. “Is he series?
