Good afternoon sir,

“The theory of evolution is based on evidence, while religion is based on belief…”

What “evidence” is there that life began with a single cell organism ?

regards

You have made a mistake common among creationists; you have mixed the theory of evolution with various hypotheses concerning origins.

The theory of evolution describes how species developed from that initial life form.

There are various hypotheses attempting to explain the origin of that first life form. None has yet reached the level of documentation and acceptance required to be called a theory. The general field is often called abiogenesis, and it is separate from evolution.

A little more than there is that life came from dust?
