"Creationists do deliberately misrepresent evolution many different ways in all their arguments. Even when they know better, they still say that evolution necessarily requires the godless origin of life from inorganic matter. But it doesnāt mean that, and never did. For one thing, all the building blocks of life were already organic long before the first organism, before anything could be considered alive. Weāve even detected vast amounts of organic matter in deep space. But creationists claim space evolved too, and that the big bang is part of the same evolutionary process as that which leads to new species on earth. So they often say that evolution requires āsomething coming from nothingā, which is ironic since creationists believe that themselves while strict scientists do not."
