Science does not show that the universe couldn't have just started.
Gradual evolution does not rest on that. Gradual evolution does not mean uniform evolution.
Matter can be created from energy, or energy can be created from matter. That is how nuclear bombs and power plants work.
Since you are wrong on those counts, I guess you are probably wrong when you assert that G-d created the Universe.
"Since you are wrong on those counts, I guess you are probably wrong when you assert that G-d created the Universe..."
Well, I'll tell you what...If I'm wrong then I'll just be a pile of dust in my casket and my ancestors will have to live with the shame of their dad, brother, husband having not been a completely knowledgable person of evolutionary science and you and yours can proudly declare your wisdom of the same and rub in it my family's face...
...However, If I'm right in believing that God created the Universe and trusting in God for salvation, believing in His Word and truth then I feel confident that all those who do so will be blessed to be in His prescence for eternity meanwhile all those who deny God will not be in His prescence rather they will be in the lake of fire...
Either way things certainly look good for me as I've been called a fool before and don't have any shame in that so what's it to me to be dead and be called a fool...but for those who deny God they could certainly be in for a surprise when their days on this world come to an end...
Whether one believes or not doesn't make God any less of a reality so why not believe?
