My question then is this: can you please provide scientific proof as to what started all this? How and when did life begin? I want proof of this and what you believe. Scientific proof. I want to be shown what started the evolutionary process. If you can show me this, I may be on my way to being an evolutionist.
Evolution isn;t about the origin of life, it's about the origin of new species once life already exists. Descent with modification guided by natural selection causing the diversification of existing populations into distinct subgroups happens regardless of how the process itself began, whether that means God, aliens, a magic teapot, or abiogenesis. In short, the beginning is irrelevant - you don't need to know where a car started from to see that it's moving on the freeway.

Re: Are you sure you think A is A?
Then why is there something rather than nothing?
Why not? Why would there be nothing rather than something?
