I really did want to find if you agree that we're talking about two different areas of science. I can see how - I don't know what to call it - active and testable science would require proof, but - again, don't know what to call it - origin science cannot be proved in the same sense.
Like I said, I can understand how people would believe in macroevolution. What I can't see is how people believe that existence came out of absolutely nothing. The process of macroevolution would demand matter, yes?
Where did the matter come from? It couldn't have always existed because where did "always" come from itself?
I'm much more inclined to back the ideas behind Darwinian macroevolution.
ETA: You must have been answering my question before I posted this one!!! My bad!
With that in mind, I don't dispute the Laws...my question is about where everything began in the first place. Things beget things. Nothing, it appears, would beget nothing.
Matter can't be created or destroyed - by us, though. Where did matter come from?

Isn't it Cartesian philosophy from Decartes, that "What was God doing before He made the Earth"???
I think he came up with that "God sees everything at once"... Forget the exact Bible verses: but from my summation you have John that brings forth: In the beginning, Word was with God, the Word was God; then you have the "God is Love" aspect--He surrounds with love... That is about the "only" definitive definition of God...
Most scientist do not think about what is happening with a start, middle, and end... We have this perpetual mentality... Who started it kind of thing is not a question we want to know about... We really do not care about that kind of question. We are more concerned about what it is now, how it is now, and can we change it?
Now human origins at least genetically have been unequivocally shown by comparing and contrasting DNA sequences from one human to another and doing time line of traceablility... We can go back in time with that--kinna like Madat begat Dadat, etc.
We, scientist in fact call it the mitochondial Eve hypothesis and the Y chromosome Adam hypothesis... Irony at your best...
As far as other Homo sapiens... We molecular geneticists have Neanderthal DNA--not in modern human beings genes... We have Cro Magnon DNA--not in our genes... Chimpanzee DNA is only 98% similar to our DNA--but some genes are in different chromosomal locations making them different from humans...
Was there a split--which folks have a problem with? I dunno...
Do I care about that? NO... Because, either way, there ain't gonna be too many Homo sapiens sapiens around if we keep doing evilness to each other, anyways...
Maybe God will wash His hands of us...
