    The point is that we can not regress evolution back infinitely or you have a paradox. With Infinite regression you never arrive in the present. Is this not proof that something exists in an infinite state from which causation begins, from which evolution begins.
    An example of this is the human eye.

    The Optic nerve goes right through the retina which means either the eye is the result of evolution (no regress) or the result of an incompetent creator/God.

    We have no idea of how the universe started but do know that starting from nothing does not contradict known science, much of which now conflicts with our everyday experience such as the theory of relative and quantum physics.
    I like Hindu cosmology with time and space resetting at each cycle. It seems that cosmology renders the debate on how the start redundant.
