Evolution does not necessitate that its mutually exclusive to outside influence, nor does the state of life on earth necessitate that they've been derived via evolution. In fact, the very fact that we can manipulate genes proves that principle, because you can create something by means other than random mutation.

Non sequitur. The fact that humans can alter genes says nothing one way or the other about how life historically evolved on this planet. Darwinian evolution is perfectly consistent with our ability to do that. Darwin himself was in part inspired by his observation of pigeon breeders, which is nothing more than random mutation selected by artificial constraints instead of survival/reproduction.

I'm not not sure you know what Darwin's theory of evolution is. Hint: It does not address the origin of life.

The fact that evolution doesn't reconcile against itself is why you cannot claim what you're claiming as knowledge.

Wait, "evolution is not self-consistent" is now a fact? Alert the journals! I look forward to reading your proof, and the tens of thousands of retractions that will follow.
