Evolution explains not only where we come from

actually, Evolution only attempts to broadly explain just a portion of the timeline...it doesn't attempt to explain the whole timeline.  Even cosmology has no model for what it believes is the very first instance of the universe – the Big Bang theory has no model for anything earlier than 10^-37seconds. “Scientists” will always be left with untestable speculations that are, by definition, out of reach of scientific study.

In fact, the Big Bang theory is only a model of the universe AFTER it began, it does NOT attempt to explain the actual origin of the universe, but only its expansion after its origin.

It's why it continues to be feared by people who are superstitious.

Huh? How so?  Do you see me lifting a finger to make adjustments to my religion to this supposed threat of Evolution?  Have I adjusted any of my doctrines to deal with this “fear”?

When you believe in an all powerful God who created the whole universe out of nothing, there’s nothing to fear except God, and you ESPECIALLY don’t fear theories that have admittedly reached dead ends.

For the love of cheese please stop taking such broad statements as being against you personally.

then maybe he should have included the word "some" or even "few", then I wouldn't have taken it to be a broad statement
