So, "evolutionists" and I are debating from different perspectives. If you believe that there was an intelligent originator or not, and you believe that all things came about through macroevolution, I'm saying that I understand that belief and it makes sense outside the context of biblical Genesis.
And, I also understand that biblical Genesis can be interpreted to support macroevolution in this sense. It can be interpreted in different ways. The study of evolution does not disprove the existence of God - it only brings into question the participation of God in the development of the cosmos.
Personally, while I can see how logically one might come about the belief in macroevolution, that is not my heartfelt and logical understanding of how the universe came about.
Anyway, my question remains - regardless of one's belief in an active and personal God - where did original matter come from in order for everything to be formed?
The question doesn't attempt to discredit the findings of science, only to honestly try to discover where it all came from.

First Law of Thermodynamics: Matter cannot be created or destroyed--it just changes from one form into another...
It is not a matter of belief to scientists. We can prove it to be true with mathematics and physics--maybe I can't but, I know some of the Eigen values from Real Variable Euclidian mathematicians can...
I guess the scientists are saying there is no "start time" to all of this existence... When did humans start to exist relative to a God is not a question we ask--not because we don't believe it, we just cannot test it out... But we can test out relative relationships of DNA in paradigm map...
As you progress in your studies--even if you remain a Christian--you still have to do some research of other religions. The Aztecs and Mayans had that life came in cycles... Mainly their high priests practiced these calculations... They came up with the math concept of something beyond infinity... I can't calculated it, but there is a formula for it...
Then how do you come up with the concept of
P? Those were the Egyptian mathematicians.
So we are using their calculations still to this day and they have not varied... That is where the scientists get a "relative point of reference" of a start time... But within exact certainty--well, there is a calculation for that too, but I cannot do it...
