Wow, You have made a lot assumptions about what people believe based off of what they don't believe. Again Even if evolution and Abiogenesis where proven false it doesn't prove a creator.
Also, saying something can't be a certain way because you cant understand it, is by definition the argument from ignorance.
Sorry that I made those assumptions, but the point is that I don't believe there was ever just nothing.
The reason it isn't an argument from ignorance is because I do understand it, and it simply doesn't work. You can't just keep calling me ignorant if the science that I am telling you is true. If you have some hidden knowledge about the theory of evolution and how it leads to new genetic information then please share it. If you don't know the mechanism for increasing genetic complexity, then you are arguing from ignorance.
Evolution works and it is real one only needs to look into the field of medicine.

Well no it doesn't. I'm sure your thinking about antibiotic resistance developing in bacteria. Antibiotic resistance is often hijacked as an example of evolution, but it actually is not creating new genetic information. What happens is a small percent of bacteria contain a segment of pre-existing DNA called plasmids. These segments of DNA code for proteins that destroy the antibiotic molecules. Bacteria can then transfer this segment of DNA between each other and thus they gain this ability to survive. But it is not the creation of new information, it is just a brilliant design to keep populations of bacteria alive.

Ok then please inform me. You are right to doubt some random guy on the internet, but then maybe look up Steven Meyer or another doubter of evolution. These are professionals. Also it isn't fair for me to go off on all the science behind why it doesn't work when you've already said that you don't like biology. However, if you keep telling me that I do not understand the theory, I will give my reasons and it will be up to you to decide if you agree with them.
