Strange how he would ask of a theory that only concerns itself with how small changes/mutations over time lead to survival of the fittest selections and more complex/adapting organisms, to do cosmology’s job to explain the origins of the universe.

I hope Jason can appreciate the irony that, in order to answer his true question from the correct field of science, that we need to consult the work that a Jesuit priest came up with, which is now known as the event referred to derisively as the Big Bang.

You apply that arguement to explain away why God doesn’t need a cause, I use it for the universe.
My assertions are somewhat more plausible because we can at least observe the universe.

Where does the ability for anything to exist come from?

Without an uncaused first cause, we are left with a never ending negative, which makes the existence of anything impossible.

I must say that evolution cannot answer my question, and that you will prove yourself no mathematician if you do not concur with my point.

There must be a source of existence. It is too absurd to think their is not.
