Yeah; same for you.

I believe you've made a mistake; those are multiple ideas. Evolution has been proven on a small scale many times, so I don't know why people keep saying that it is unproven. Organic matter has been created from inorganic matter, but said matter has not been brought to life. No one here is saying that, for sure, everything comes from nothing. There are other arguments for the beginning of the universe that don't involve god.

Which one? Evolution is the only reasonable idea in its category. Abiogenesis probably is, but it hasn't yet been proven. As for the universe arising from nothing, I'm not claiming to be more than 50% sure about that, so yes there are other reasonable explanations, but they don't all invlove god (in fact, only one does).

Becuase ignorance is spreading... There is proof for evolution. Proof
