If an atom exists, then it is an absolute that atoms exist. [b]It follows logically, that, if atoms exist absolutely, the question of their origin comes into play.
1. Did the atom always exist? If so, how? What explanation can be given?
2. Did the atom have a beginning? If so, how did that happen? [/b]
The evolutionary hypothesis cannot account for the origin of the atom.
Which hypothesis is this? Are you referring to "The Theory of Evolution" (note that I am not talking about a hypothesis)?
If so, then you are correct, it cannot account for the origin of the atom as it does not try to do so. It has very little to do with atoms and their origins other than the fact that most of its subject matter is typically composed of atoms. Did you not know this?
(As an aside, the theory of evolution is disintegrating under scientific scrutiny as we speak)
Which scientific scrutiny? What state of disintegration has it reached? How come you know about it but I don't? Is it a secret you should not have told me?
The only logical, rational, conclusion to this discussion is this question; Did man create God, or did God create man?
If it is logical, then you should be able to explain it in a logical manner not as an unsupported claim. How does that conclusion follow from the question of the existence of an atom? Explain.
We can't prove it one way or the other. But if there is, "God", then only He can prove anything.
And He has.
Not scientifically. And I can bet that if I question you further you would not only withdraw that claim but reverse it ie claim that he deliberately avoids such proofs.
