No, there was no tone. I just thought of the metaphysical question after my first.
So the question is, what does the evidence tell us about how everything got here? Do we have enough evidence to answer that question?

I like to think it was.
Do you have even one scrap of evidence that "god" is "real"????
I can cite thousands of evidences in science that indicate a better idea of where we come from and why than any religious text. I have no intention of getting bated by this troll bullshit but hey lets see your evidence of the claim you are already making in that you claim "god" is "real".
I could care less what you believe I want you to prove it. Can I prove nature and science? I think you already know the answer to that and any question you are asking here which brings me to; Why are you asking it?

Ummm... I didn't mention anything about a god or proof for a god. My question was "how does the evidence answer this question: how did all this get here?" Certainly we have evidence of a big bang and evidence of evolution that, at least, begins to answer how.
So if you know that and know it is there and has been for decade upon decade why did you pose this question at all? You could use the internet for a better purpose than just trolling people who don't agree with you. Do your own research. Evolutionary evidence is all around you in biology, geology, chemistry, physics etc... thousands of pages of it.
How much evidence is in the pages of the "good book"???
