@sonship saidYes of course you can trust an elaborate origin fantasy if it brings you comfort but you cannot cite it as proven or even provable or for that matter unprovable.
@Ghost-of-a-Duke
God created the whole 'shebang' or He didn't.
I believe as John wrote, that "All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him not one thing came into being which has come into being." (John 1:3)
That of course commits me to believing ultimately the whole shebang could not come into being apart from God.

I trust this.
If the theory of evolution turns out to be wrong it does not add one milligram of weight to your belief based origin theory.

Like, the thousands of precision operations and error correction going on in the cell by molecular machines arising accidently from randomness is much easier to believe.
Like the chromosome arrangement of more information than could fit in a set of encyclopedias tumbled chaotically out of the randomness of a no purpose, no goal, no intention, no plan "selection" lottery. That's easier to believe then a purposeful goal intending Mind?
I don't have enough faith to be a total Naturalist hoping anything can develop given long enough. I don't have enough faith to be an athiest.

@sonship saidYes I do. I can say with absolute certainty our journey didn't start in a garden.
You don't know that it is not 100% history.
We don't know everything about our existence, but we know that much. - You cling to the narrative of Adam and Eve, as without it the whole original sin thing is a nonsense.
