>evolution simply is the process by which life changes

I realize that. But until the origins of the universe can be satisfactorily explained, then how the evolutionary process began remains a mystery.

Look back at my former posts, I clearly point out that we are evolving right now, even as we speak. I've never denied that.

But, it's not enough for me to believe that the process is in motion. I want to know how it all started. Without that, both sides are just floating out there.

For the last time, creationists have it starting with an eternal G-d. Ask an evolutionist and s/he'll tell you that s/he doesn't know how it all got started, but somehow it "just happened". Thus, both require "faith" in things that can't be explained.

That's the only point I've been trying to make, that at some point both require "faith" in things that can't be explained. I've been very consistent. I didn't think it was all that complicated.

And, I don't know how to make it any more clearer than that.
