What I am refering to here is organic evolution--the theory that the first living organism developed from nonliving matter. Then, as it reproduced, it is said to have changed into different kinds of living things, producing ultimately all forms of life that have ever existed on earth, including humans. And all of this is believed to have been accomplished w/o intelligent direction or supernatural intervention.

Creation, on the other hand, is the conclusion that the appearing of living things can only be explained by the existence of an Almighty God who designed and made the universe and all the basic kinds of life upon the earth.

Obviously, there are profound differences between the theory of evolution and the Genesis creation account. Those who accept evolution contend that creation is not scientific. But in fairness, it could also be asked: Is evolution itself truly scientific? On the other hand, is Genesis just another ancient creation myth or is it in harmony with the discoveries of modern science?

the staggering problem of explaining the emergence of life from non-living matter

Its true that such evolved chemistries are infrequent,
To a large extent that explains why why the theory of evolution is needed. No one claiming to be rational or scientific could claim that life arose from non living matter over and over again. It becomes much easier to explain that once this rare event happend life evolved from life
