If you believe in evolution, where did the first matter come from, did it just always exist? If not, where did it come from?

All I'm saying is that evolutionist/atheist can't explain where the origin of the universe came from anymore than Christians can explain where their God came from. At the very basis, both "theories" require "faith". If that's wrong please let me know.

The big bang. Then you ask, where did it come from, did it always exist? My answer is who knows? However, I ask this: is it any more difficult to believe that a singularity from which came the big bang and the universe always existed, than it is to believe that some being always existed and created the universe? They both have the same unanswerable question (where did it come from and did it always exist?), and logically one is no more or less feasible or comprehendible than the other. They both are beliefs, in essence.

Who said there was ever a "first" atom? And if there was, obviously the answer is: the causes and conditions for that atom to arise. All things arise due to causes and conditions, all things are changing and impermanent. When a concept that you perceive as "ending" dissolves then it's obviously becoming something else, not really "ending" considering that it never existed inherently in the first place.
What is an atom? Is it the subatomic particles that make it up? The charge between the atomic particles? What are you? Are you your cells? Your nose? Everything is a heap of "parts" (let's say for simplicity's sake) that arise due to causes and conditions and we give them a label for the necessity of discernment and functionality. It doesn't mean those things actually exist as you think they do.
Hope that tickles your thought process for some fun.

You don't need to study cosmology in order to evaluate life of Earth. By your reasoning, chemistry is just a wild guess because we don't know where the matter came from. It's not true. We study the universe and learn what we can. The fact that there is one unanswered question does not mean there are are no answered questions.

Big Bang. I'm not sure where the Big Bang came from, but that doesn't mean you are allowed to infer God.

Dude...if you are saying that we don't know everything...you're right. If you;re saying that it means there is a God...that is a belief. To further say that it's YOUR God is a more specific belief.

Science is still working on that one, I think.
At least science is still working to expand human understanding of our world. So much better than creationists and religious people who just don't like to use their brains that much.

My question is, if you really wanted an answer to this, why did you not pose it to the science section?
