	However, reguardless of what Ken says he said, what he
stated is below:

> "EVOLUTION IS A THEORY ABOUT A PROCESS THAT HAPPENED LONG, LONG AGO
> AND FAR, FAR AWAY AND NOBODY EVER SAW IT, AND IT HAPPENED, WE SPECULATE

	As expressed before Ken, EVOLUTION, does not concern where
it all started, just how it's progressed.  Your redefining of the
term to include "'life' arising from non-life" does NOT make it part
of the definition.  Hence, EVOLUTION is still happening today, right
now.  (Belive it or not :-) )

	Obviously, the 'origional event' is not happening today, nor
does anyone claim it is.
