Hey thanks for the words. Evolutionists seen to want to discuss only the life-change subset of how things came to be. They do not want to see that life is a just one thing that is a reality. If their science is restricted to what has happened to life since it was created, well OK. But life does not evolve from nothing. There was a first. They touch but a part of the elephant and conclude that is all we need to know. [wonder what part?] I guess matter doesn't matter.

No, we merely correctly understand that the theory of evolution only addresses the life-change scope of how things came to be. Dishonest creationists are the ones trying to expand evolution beyond its scope, and then when we point out that evolution only covers a specific range of topics, they dishonestly claim that we're not interested in any other historical sciences, even though there are plenty of researchers working in those respective fields of study.

The question of how life came to exist in the first place is an important one. That it is not a part of the theory of evolution itself does not mean that it is not being researched and it is fundamentally dishonest of you to claim that we have no interest in the question simply because we correctly understand that the question is not addressed within the scope of the theory of evolution.

I guess matter doesn't matter.

A dishonest characterization. The ultimate origin of matter is an interesting field of study. However, how matter ultimately originated has no bearing on the validity of evolution, thus it is not part of that particular field of study. That does not mean that it is not being studied at all. In typical dishonest creationist fashion, you have turned evolution into an all-encompassing explanation of how the universe and everything in it came to exist when it is not any such thing, and when you are told that evolution does not address that range of topics, you dishonestly claim that the range of topics isn't being studied at all.
