Although evolution is easily provable and is clearly a reality, it does not answer the question of "how this all began in the first place." Science itself acknowledges cause and effect. Something in motion has to be set into motion. A car doesn't accelerate without you pushing the gas pedal. So what is pushing the gas pedal of life. I have heard the best argument for god as "the first cause" and everything we see now is the result of that initial action.
Is there any examples or pattern in life where something has come into existence from nothing. Then again this would raise a further question, "do we have the ability to see what caused this something to apparently come out of nothing. Any thoughts.
Why cant the universe or multiverse (if M-Theory is right) be eternal, that would in my opinion be consistent with the second law of thermodynamics. Although we humans because of the way our brains are wired, find this concept of something (oddly enough deities are an curious exception) having always existed quite hard to comprehend.
