Evolution trys to explain the beginning of the earth and its beings with science, as i take it.

No; evolution tries to explain the origin of new species from previous and very different species. [Already mentioned by others]


But how can you explain it with science when it defies science? For example, Laws of thermo-dynamics, they say that energy cannot be created or destroyed.

I think you have mixed up your criticisms. Nothing in the evolution of species, or in the formation of the earth, involves creation or destruction of energy. That would be a violation of the first law of thermodynamics. Most creationists use the second law, which is that heat does not flow spontaneously from one source to another at a higher temperature; or (equivalently) that no process can result in a net decrease in entropy. Nothing in evolution or the formation of the Earth violates that law either.


So how all did this happen?
Plus the law of cause and effect. This law is commonly used and accepted throughout all fields of science. Evolution is based of chance and natural selection. Chance suggests creation without creator. It had to start somewhere right?

Evolution does involve cause and effect, and a mix of random and non-random processes; much like nearly everything that goes in this world. Your own development as an individual from a single cell involves a combination of chance and regularity. Does this suggest that you, individually, have no creator?
