RE: Where did the universe come from? Atheistic origin science has no answer.

I am amused at the idea that god didn't form the Earth or moon; he slammed an object into the Earth to help it form into a habitable planet while at the same time providing a serviceable satellite to manage the tides. He must have spent centuries calculating exactly how large the missile had to be, and what angle to strike the Earth at, and how fast to make it move... everything needed to guarantee that he'd get precisely the Earth we got.
I wonder how many "almost" Earths there are in the universe, as god kept trying to figure out how to do that and failing over and over because dammit, the angle was off by this much!

"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."
