That's not surprising since the theory of evolution is not a theory
of cosmology - it is not required to explain where matter came from.
The matter could have originally come from a creator as far as evolution
is concerned. If you spent some time reading about evolution and
cosmology, besides your bible, you would know the difference. I suggest
you heed your own advice.
