Evolution does not explain the origin of this world, because…
the theory of evolution has to start by supposing that there was something in existence. And it doesn’t tell you where that came from apart from the fact that its explanation of what happened to that original thing, whatever it was, whether of mere gases or anything else it doesn’t explain how it happened. It doesn’t explain the origin. It simply doesn’t know.
It can put forth a theory, but it cannot prove it. The theory of evolution is not subject to scientific experimentation. You just can’t do it, because you always start with matter. And so you have a theory which cannot be subject to experimentation. You can’t go back to the beginning. Nobody was there. Nobody knows, so they’re having to rest on a theory. But according to their own arguments, you shouldn’t do that, you should only believe in that which you can prove.
