"Go ye therefore unto the ends of the earth..." Last time I looked, spheres
do not have ends.

Sorry, but the question of where matter comes from is not included in
the "Theory of Evolution", because the answer is not relevent to evolution.
Where matter comes from is a question more appropriate to the science of
physics, probabally, and there are several competing theories (none are
currently totally accepted within the scientific community).

Hopefully the creation story will not vanish, but will remain a nice story.
Maybe we will be lucky enough that people will quit claiming that it is
scientific, however.

If you turn the above statement arround to "where is the proof of the
Biblical creation story", one can start a discussion of a scientific
nature.
