During COVID shutdowns i took the opportunity to go searching for external evidence that supports the Bible. Historical sources are very hard to deny and one of them on this very subject is below...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tacitus_on_Jesus
The Roman historian and senator Tacitus referred...
in principio creavit Deus caelum et terram
In the beginning God created heaven, and earth.
(Latin Vulgate...far older than the RSV!)
I think making the statement it doesn't actually say God created the waters is about as stupid as saying it doesn't actually say God created bones or skin, or...
Genesis 1:1 is quite often ignored even though it clearly says
"in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth"!
So no, God did not form the earth from an existing chaos...he had already created the heavens and the earth in verse 1!
I dont think you are really considering the problem. Science shows that the universe is explanding (hence the rise of big bang theory).
Something expanding must have come from a singularity
By sheer logic, singularity suggests origins. So there must have been a beginning for the universe...
this makes no sense...there are many witnesses to the existence of Christ.
How can you claim none? I will post the witnesses to Christ if you really are going to deny there are any.
you need to read a dictionary...

Are you basing your epistomology on science or a philosophical belief?
My understanding is that the questions of why are we here, we did we come from, and where are we going are philosophical ones and involve belief.
Christians do not usually find standards of belief from scientific study as...
wow, thats a statement of ignorance...there's a ****load of evidence against it. What you should have said is that YOU dont believe the evidence against it!
Creation.com and Answers in Genesis are two major entities that have produced enormous amounts of material that cast doubt on many aspects...
and yet that is exactly what we find when we search for images of human evolution...there are thousands of similar images. Whether or not you agree, that is the consensus that has been fed for decades about human evolution...its also still what we find in school textbooks on the subject of human...
and yet with all that experience, you somehow managed to come up with the profoundly errant statement that Christians are unable to explain the origins of sin, suffering, and death?
You are dog barking up trees
showing pretty pictures of modern humans is not answering the question.
show me a human with an evolutionary gain please...like a precursor to us growing wings, or with limbs showing an evolutionary advance towards the ability to jump like a flea, or what about the ability to swing through...
i find it timewasting to talk with people who keep relying on wives tails for their knowledge.
Id suggest you study some debates on youtube between atheism and Christianity regarding morality, suffering and death. Once you have done that, then come back here and we can discuss your above comment.
eh? Who told you that nonsense about Christians? The real claim is amigo, which you have no clue about obviously, is that Christianity at is foundational level is the only world view that best explains (through internal and external evidence) the "bad things" in this world.
I suggest you...

Acts Chapter 1
10They were looking intently into the sky as He was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. 11“Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will...

thats stupid...
can you prove love exists in any manner differently than what is used to prove God exists?
No you cannot, so by your own theory, there is no such thing as love!
that does not answer the question...
show us the intermediatory for the next evoutionary generation of humans...where are they???
The evoution of man has gone from ape like to us...from walking on all fours to on twos...more upright, but where is the next progression shown? (Is it black skin...
