For something to evolve it had to have come from something before it evolved. What was the first thing? How did it come into existence? I have a scientific answer, it was created. You have no answer.

You are stating a religious belief: "It was created." Don't confuse your religious belief with science (hey, that might make a good tagline...).

Don’t talk to us about evolution if you cannot give an intelligent foundation for the start of it.

False!

It makes no difference for the theory of evolution whether life began via:

1) some form of creation, 2) natural causes, 3) panspermia (e.g., spores drifting through space), or 4) intelligent aliens starting life going here.

In any of these cases, evolution works just fine.

one - you still have not answered the question. Com'on give it a try. First thing? How?

two - If everything was created [and their is both scientific theory and evidence of that] then creationism is science.

three - false, if you cannot prove the beginning of something living you cannot know it evolved. I am not talking about macro 'E' but NOTHING to something to cell thingy to fish thingy to crawling thingy to land thingy to flying thingy to giant T-rex thingy to man thingy.

Evolution is cute little theory but not science.

I go with natural causes. At least there is some evidence there. Unlike religion, which is entirely based on scripture and other mythology.

Creationism is religion, not science; why don't you just admit it?

False. You don't need to know how a germ originated to figure out how to combat it! Germ theory does not state the origins of germs!

If evolution is a theory, how is it not science? As I recall, science is the discipline that deals with hypotheses, theories, laws, and all those other scientific things which are dealt with using the scientific method.

From your post, it seems that you are doing apologetics, not science.
