why does God have to come from anywhere?

There is a logical necessity for the existence of an Eternal Someone...or there would be nothing now. From our perspective, everything has to have a beginning. But there has to be something that has always existed...and that can't be matter or energy. Eternal matter would violate the laws of Thermodynamics. If there had ever been absolutely nothing, there would still be absolutely nothing...because something can't come from nothing. Something has to exist to create something else.

So you do not have enough faith to be an “evolutionist”?

First let’s address the misconception that the evolutionary theory addresses the origin of life.

That is quite simply that is not true, the evolutionary theory only addresses how life has changed since its inception.

“It is no valid objection that science as yet throws no light on the far higher problem of the essence or origin of life” (Darwin, Charles. The Origin of Species. 6th edition, 1882. p. 421).

Second stating that we do not know something is not the same as deciding that it is too complicated for us to understand so that proves that God did it.

You did however did point out the logical flaw in your own assertion with these two statements.

“why does God have to come from anywhere? ...because something can't come from nothing”

And lastly science is not based on faith; it is based on empirical evidence. Currently there is absolutely no doubt among reputable scientist that the empirical evidence overwhelmingly supports the evolutionary theory.

So I will ask you again if as you state “Something has to exist to create something else”. How was God created?
