hawking says creation godless, page-115

A hard subject to express or even to try and think it through, .... life and death.
I cannot see how something comes from nothing, and do not agree with the "evolution" theory, but even in the Bible it says something like, "don't lean on your own understandings", pointing out that we humans are not very knowledgeable.

Just as our DNA can be traced back in time, does that mean we, (our individual initial spark), started millions of years ago ?
Or did our existence begin at conception ?
-- Im not sure about that.
If the answer is the former, ... then those millions of years didn't take long, did they ?
....just a notion I have thought about.
