"I posit God who is spiritual life and created by his word without recourse to already existing material."


"I respect your right to carry on believing that all came from nothing via no one."

If you take away the pious bullshit ("spiritual life", "his word") then, surely, to any rational observer, the second statement is marginally more credible than the first (?) And, again, it's not a question of BELIEF it's a question of EVIDENCE. There is no evidence for God but there is evidence for a 'Big Bang' (whatever that was).

There is also evidence, from the fossil record, that, in the past, some living organisms became extinct and new ones emerged. The best model, so far, to explain such events is the theory of evolution.

There are missing pieces in both the cosmological and evolutionary 'jigsaws' - but that's science for you! For the forseeable future, scientists will work diligently to fill in the gaps - but the one thing that I am confident about is that there always will be gaps.
