"What is this "first law of physics" ?"

"An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force."

Something has to make "something " happen. From nothing, nothing comes.

"An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force."

And this allegedly disproves evolution... how?

Something has to make "something " happen.

Even accepting that as a valid restatement of Newton's first law of motion (and it most certainly is not), this allegedly disproves evolution.... how?

From nothing, nothing comes.

Feel free to try to prove that.

In the meantime, I'm sure you'll be relieved to learn that evolution does not require "something from nothing", so your digression is irrelevant to the discussion.

Newton's first law of motion is known as "Newton's first law of motion." (Kepler, just for one, had a first law, too.)
