Evolution is not about creation. It's about how life changed over time.

The theory of evolution must logically go back to a beginning or start of life from non-living matter which is statistically impossible no matter how people try to avoid the obvious question. Evolution or change over time from lower to higher life forms has never been observed and there is nothing in the fossil record to support the conclusion as there should be millions upon millions of intermediary fossils if the process were true, of which there are none---zero. All we find in the fossil record is fully formed animals and extinction. Fossils don't really count as proof anyway because you can't know for a fact that those creatures had any offspring and you certainly can't tell if they were different if they did. It's a great fairy tale for people that wish to believe in "naturalism" instead of a supernatural creation which is what the evidence points to. Life cannot start on it's own from non-living matter, either here or anywhere else in the universe so there's nothing to evolve from. Creation proves a creator.

Only God can Create something from nothing, evolution is just a misnomer. How is it possible? Even the best minds cannot answer that, that is the mistery behind God, that is why they refuse to believe and instead revert to evolution and the big bang theory. God and Creation are, and it is thru "faith" we as christians do believe. there is a passage that I don't remember the exact one but it goes something like this, Have ye the faith of even the size of a mustard seed and ye could move mountains. Do you know what the size of a mustard seed is? It's about this size...o....more or less in other words if we people had this much faith we could move mountains, allegorically speaking. Let me ask you this do you believe the sun will rise tomorrow? I'll bet you do, but how do you know it is going to, it may not? But you have faith that it will, don't you? Well that is how it works with God (in a very simplified way).

Evolution explains how living organisms develop over subsequent generations to better suit their environment. It does not claim that this process comes from nothing. It does not deal with where that life first came from at all.
Abiogenesis does deal with where the first life came from. But it theorizes about amino acids being formed in the Earth's early atmosphere and oceans, then joining together to make molecules capable of making copies of themselves.
Again there is no 'something from nothing' claim.
The big bang was the first event in our known universe. Science has no comment on what was there before the big bang. There are some proposals about so-called super-strings and membranes in an 11 dimensional space that could collide and for a universe. Mathematically it looks interesting but there is nothing to tie that math to reality. Yet.
There is no claim in science that the universe came from nothing. They are trying to work out what it could have come from.

Evolution doesn't answer the question of something forming from nothing. It just says that everything formed by chance, and everything on the planet has always been here, and things just randomly were created and evolved. Not that i believe some primitive soup can form life with a bolt of lightening mind you

Interesting question. VERY interesting question.
Evolution (in a nutshell) states that all life evolved from a single one cell organism that appeared in the ocean. From there all different species were born.
However, you're asking what came before life. "Life breeds life" is a pretty basic principle. But what was there before the one cell organism appeared out of nothingness? Well, oxygen, water, a friendly climate, and everything else that makes life possible.
Unfortunately though, I'm unable to directly answer your question. I've studied both philosophy and biology for several years, and to this day, no one can really tell how the origin of life was born.
And oh, by the way, most of the people that have answered this question are quite uninformed. He's asking how life began on earth after earth was created. Period.

The Big Bang, and Evolution are not exclusively linked. There are actually a lot of Christians nowdays who incorporate Evolution into their beliefs. The Big Bang is some Scientists view on the how of where our Universe started. Not everyone is able to believe that some God who has always been and always will be is any stranger of a belief than that we had the Big Bang.

As long as it all equals out to nothing, then it is.
2+3-4+5-6=0.
Here you have positives and negatives, which are something, all equaling nothing.
If everything in the Universe (the Universe is the totality of existence) equals nothing, then you can make a case of something springing from nothing.
Additional: Unlike others, I'm not going to assume you mean "evolution", as the rest of your question suggests you are using the wrong word here. An unlike others have stated, the "matter/energy can neither be created or destroyed" doesn't apply here and is a misquote. It is actually conditional, being stated as "In a closed system, matter/energy can neither be created or destroyed". And it doesn't apply to what I have stated because no more matter/energy is being introduced into the system, as it all equals out to nothing.
Instead of giving me thumbs down, I would suggest the ignorant amongst you learn and understand the subject.
Oh, and by the way, everything can be said to evolve from something else and doesn't restrict itself to life, so using the word "evolution" for the beginning and continuing state of the Universe isn't incorrect. People who limit it to the use of the evolution of life are incorrect in doing so. Just as people who limit the use of the word "relationship" to that of two people who are intimate in some way with each other. Everything and everyone is connected to each other in some manner, and the manner in which they are connected is their relationship with each other.
Broaden your minds, people.

The dilemma. Evolution only explains the changes? It doesn't even do that. I guess everyone needs to believe in something after all.

The Big Bang Theory is the one that is opposition to God's creation; not evolution. I see someone did say it all started from one cell. My former agnostic brother told me that one day and I asked him from where did that one cell come from? Made him open his eyes and more importantly his heart, to the possibility and for me, fact, that God indeed create Us. There are plenty questions even Christians have for God, and I have no doubt He will answer them when we meet. For now, we live by faith. If all the answers were given, where is the room for faith?

Not like evolution said, oh, no. See they have the problem of how LIFE started. But, best you let THEM explain first.
