I'm sure to get jumped on by all the evolutionists... but here goes anyway. I don't understand all the science at this site. I'm a theology major, not a scientist.
I've read a lot of the threads at this forum and the evolutionists say that abiogenesis is not required for evolution. But in order to beleive that evolution is true, you must beleive that the first thing that ever existed came from nothingness.
Young earth creationist, ID theorist, Evolutionist, whatever your beleif I'm sure we all agree that at some point none of this existed. (I'm open to being corrected). I cannot conceive of a universe in which everything started by accident from nothingness. The random chance does stop and make me ponder, but the nothingness part is inconceivable. To take God out of the picture means that everything literally came from nothing.
The first question should maybe to ask yourself if you beleive in God. If you find the thought of a god or gods impossible then evolution becomes your only option, with all the other ethical and moral baggage it brings with it.
