Can I research, too?

Another enlightening WaPo article for this Monday morning:

Harvard University is joining the long-running debate over the theory of evolution by launching a research project to study how life began.

The team of researchers will receive $1 million in funding annually from Harvard over the next few years. The project begins with an admission that some mysteries about life's origins cannot be explained.

Yeah, give me $1M annually and I'll make up the story of how life began, too. And for the parts where even my creative imagination can't concoct some stories, I'll say it's because "some mysteries about life's origins cannot be explained."

This is coming from Harvard???
