"evolutionism as supposedly held by millions says that there was nothing at all, and then there was.."

No, Pete...evolution, as a theory, does NOT make such a claim, even if 'some' of those millions who accept it do. That is a misstatement of what evolution as a science is concerned with. All the science is concerned with is learning as much as we can about what we can see, measure and calculate.

If you wish to claim that "something from nothing" is implied by accepting evolution as a probable hypothesis, I can only shrug and repeat what I have told you for perhaps 5-6 times... you CAN believe in a Supreme Creator and at the same time accept that evolution is merely the complex result of what HE/SHE/IT started. If you also wish to believe that HE/SHE/IT designed & planned every step of it all, you can do that also.... but if you also believe that HE/SHE/IT gave us intelligence & reason to appreciate and explore ITS creation, then you can't avoid the huge and daily growing evidence OF those step and details.
Things like The Burgess Shale (and that tricky dino DNA) are there... they are hard evidence of life that existed long before any organism ever imagined writing a Holy Book. Holy books are numerous and recent.... they are Man's attempt to make sense of existence and pass on 'stories' of what they remember and what they were told about amazing experiences and the **interpretations** of those experiences. Holy Books are important as subjective guides for many people... but they are NOT guides to the science we need to fully understand as much as possible of what we see.
