We always run into the same problems, being evolutionist or not. What came before? (Most) Religious people believe that God is infinite in existence (and Eru too), but scientific atheists point to darwinism and argue using that. Science, however, is just another mask covering a similar question: What came before the Big Bang? Is there another, larger plane of existence within which our universe is but the relative size of a proton? and if so, what comes after that? What lies deep within the most finite core of a quark? Is there an existence beyond humanity? Is there extraterrestrial life? How dow we explain the supernatural? If God is "dead", then why is the universe? You see, Nietzsche was wrong. Humanity will never cease to need God. He is woven into the fibre of existence, the questions we ask always lead that way, without aversion, without reason, and seemingly without answer.

P.S. Of all my posts as a member, this was probably the least relevent to the Downs, its deletion will occur immediately should anyone complain at all. So, beforehand, I sincerely appologize.
