The idea that evolutionary theory has anything to say about the ultimate origins of the universe is a creationist misconception.
And in the future, try and be slightly more polite then demanding that I explain things to you. "Please" is a good word. Try and use it.
yet, they are theories on "developments" ..on "beginnings" so to speak, are they not?

To sustain the belief that there is no God, atheism has to demonstrate infinite knowledge, which is tantamount to saying, "I have infinite knowledge that there is no being in existence with infinite knowledge" --Ravi Zacharias
‘If the solar system was brought about by an accidental collision, then the appearance of organic life on this planet was also an accident, and the whole evolution of Man was an accident too. If so, then all our present thoughts are mere accidents—the accidental by-product of the movement of atoms. And this holds for the thoughts of the materialists and astronomers as well as for anyone else’s. But if their thoughts—i.e. of materialism and astronomy—are merely accidental by-products, why should we believe them to be true? I see no reason for believing that one accident should be able to give me a correct account of all the other accidents. It’s like expecting that the accidental shape taken by the splash when you upset a milkjug should give you a correct account of how the jug was made and why it was upset.’

i hated it when God insisted i "yawp!"
but He knew i must,
and that my life would not begin,
until i yawped.
We all must learn to yawp.
we MUST awaken the passion,
that part of us that feels intensely,
and is NOT afraid to say so
or to express it.
Otherwise we are just dead men walking.

Everything is limited. The purpose of science is to explain the workings of the universe. What is your point?
it doesn't explain any of it very well. it merely points out how "limited" those behind the "theories" are. thus those developing theories are prone to mistakes and misconceptions, and miscalculations, and "blind" spots they they did not know were there, and others came later and saw something the 1st one was blind to, and then others, later see a little bit more...like walking in the dark and shing a light just one step ahead each time and "discovering" something that was there all along, but just "hidden"
ALL that has ever been dis-covered (un-covered) was there from the gitgo...just not seen or detected. Always has been this way throughout history. It is because we, humans, are finite. We are limited...as will our theories and anything we conjure up with our limited reasoning and logi and calculations. None of it is perfect.
Because WE are not perfect.

"Christianity"? Consisting of fallible human beings who are not perfect, merely forgiven? Yes, "Christianity" is limited. God is not.
