But creationism is most definitely NOT a scientific theory. A scientific theory is a rational, comprehensible, cause-and-effect explanation (or model) for verifiable facts. Further, a scientific theory must be falsifiable, which can happen by observing verifiable facts which contradict it. Creationism fails to be a scientific theory in absolutely every respect. It's an article of faith, which is fine with me, but that's not science. Really. The foundation of evolution as cosmology is "something came from nothing" or "a miracle happened"
Using your own logic, evolution as cosmology is not a scientific theory. "something came from nothing" is not a theory that is rational, comprehensible, cause-and-effect explanation. Hell, in evolution as cosmology it all starts with an effect that had no cause. Using your own words, evolution as cosmology fails to be a scientific theory.
Don't you hate it when you own words deflate your position?

You've already been told that evolution is not cosmology and that it makes no claims that "something came from nothing". That you repeat it after being told only makes you dishonest, it doesn't make your lies any less invalid.

There you go again, we have explained this to you MANY times already, and yet you continue to use it as an argument.
Evolution does NOT claim that something came from NOTHING.
It claims that something made this something change into this something, not that this NOTHING became this something.
That is abiogenesis, a totally different theory and scientific endeavor.
Evolution takes that which was ALREADY there, and tries to explain how this came about from that.
Something from nothing, ridiculous argument against evolution, because it claims NOTHING of the sort.
