It's one of those areas where I think a lot of step-by-step understanding is required before getting to the really weird stuff.
But is god really creating from nothing? He could be using energy stored within himself, or taking matter from another dimension or reality. If all he does is just make things appear, that seems kind of underwhelming.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
