Evolution trys to explain the beginning of the earth and its beings with science, as i take it.
You take it wrong. Evolution describes and explains change over time in populations of organisms.
quote:
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.
What is the total energy of the Universe? Do you know?
quote:
So how all did this happen?
Define "all this" and we might be able to help.
quote:
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?
The concept of "creation" is a theological construct, not a scientific one. You are playing word-games if you try to say "we'll call this creation, therefore it must have a Creator".

Oh, but they do, every day. Take a million carbon 14 atoms. Sooner or later one of them decays. What decides which one it is?
If there were a cause, we would know whether Shrodinger's cat was alive or dead.*
