It's simple. According to our materialistic view, all things must have a cause, nothing can come from nothing. As such, there must be a special entity that came from nothing to make it all. I believe that argument style is called "special pleading". God claims to inhabit eternity. By definition that would make Him eternal. A concept that science has given us further incite into.
By reading the book of Job in the Old Testament, one can begin to see the consistency with which science has begun to line up with scripture. One can also learn God's perspective on your "special pleading" issue.
Many of the errors and misconceptions of science could have been quickly resolved by a scholarly read of the Bible. Most landmark scientific discoveries were inspired by Biblical literacy. You know the names, times and places.
God rewards the diligent student. Becoming literate in the Bible will not hurt you.

The most troubling part of evolution for me is how things got started(sorry if this has already been covered).
I must have missed where evidence that this "God" exists, including references to tests to show its existence (and presuambly expose some aspects of this "God"). Could you be so kind as to provide a link?

How so?

If this is the case, why not go to it. You could win a Nobel Prize or three. Go on, cite some specific examples to support your assertion.

I'd really like to see a citation for this one. It seems as though you're trying to draw a conneciton between the fact that the Bible has some historical accuracy with respect to the names and locations of some ancient cities (for which the same can be said of much of Greek mythology) and science, but I'm not sure how you're making that logical connection.

(And it definitely doesn't imply what you think it implies.)
