You have not given any explanation, that is science.

That's so incredibly naive. Especially with what we know now. Gradualism was abandoned a long time ago in case you didn't know.

And you are now merely chasing your own tail.
Don't get me wrong, I find it just as entertaining when my cats do it.

You already know my explanation.

All of a sudden you are afraid to tell?
And 50,000 years is the blink of an eye in geological terms. Even Gould, the inventor of Punctuated Equilibrium, only expected large scale changes to happen over periods of time exceeding this.
I am here because my mother and father had sex. I assume something similar is true for you as well.

The theory keeps changing because it doesn't actually work with the evidence.

So you never look at the big picture and ask why everything exists instead of nothing?

No, go read the first verse of the Bible...
Except that it does. The theory changes in minor details, like the theory of gravity does. The broader descriptions don't change because they are supported by all the evidence.
The main questions today about evolution are those of mechanisms and relative importance of different mechanisms. We *know* that species change over geological time, so the issue is no longer whether evolution happens. It does.
Sure. And I also realize there can be no answer to that because any answer to 'why' would rely on something else existing.
Even your 'explanation' fails to address this question. You must assume a deity that has no explanation for its existence.
At that point, it is easier to just note that the universe is visible and exists. Maybe it 'just exists' with no other explanation.
I've done so many times and have found it a rather silly story that has no connection to reality.

Were you not just
And now you are doing the very thing you spent so much time complaining about....
Your double standards are most entertaining.

I have no idea what you are going on about. What do you want to know? It's all there in Genesis.

And just as many interpretations of it as there are people...
Now if you are not going to offer up any explanations and reduce yourself to the level you accuse others of....
So much for your supposed higher ground, eh?
