How did evolution begin?

I personally do not believe in evolution because of the evidence I have seen that goes against that theory. When, however, I mention something about origins, quite often the evolutionists cry out that evolution does not deal with origins.

Before there can be organic evolution, there must life, therefore, the issue of how it began is germane to the subject of evolution.

Update:

Abiogenesis is the logical conclusion of the theory of evolution. A change from non-living to living has to be the first step in evolution.

Update 2:

Among the evidence I have seen is artwork that shows known dinosaurs. This art includes pictographs in Natural Bridges National Park (USA), the Grand Canyon, and Montrose County, Colorado. Also there are hundreds of clay figurines in Mexico, and Inca burial stones in Peru that depict known dinosaurs in great detail.

This art was created hundreds of years before these dinosaurs were "discovered".

Evolutionists say man has never seen a dinosaur. If this is true, then how did these ancient men know what they looked like?

There is much more evidence!

    We don't know for sure, but speculation has early molecules forming from the atmosphere and water available on the early Earth through physical and chemical processes. Abiogenesis, eh?

    > Among the evidence I have seen is artwork that shows known dinosaurs.

    Are you sure? Might be "artist's conception of a lizard, taken to an extreme." You can also find artwork of "ancient spacemen, complete with space helmets."

    Another possibility: ancient paleontologists dug up dinosaur bones and reassembled them just the way we do today. Ancient people weren't stupid.

    How many of these are hoaxes?

    The issue of how life began might be relevant to *biology*, but it is not relevant to *evolution*, any more than it is relevant to the germ theory of disease, the tensegrity theory of cell structure, or any other theory of modern biology.

    The reason for this is that life requires evolution: no life = no evolution. So the first step of non-life-to-life is outside the area that evolution attempts to describe. Immediately after life began, evolution began (after the first primitive self-replication began).

    The field of how life began is called Abiogenesis. It is a much more scientifically contentious field than evolution, with several competing hypotheses.

    Evolution began when life began. The first organsims on earth were subjected to environmental pressures that resulted in differentiation of survival.

    I would like to know what evidence you have seen that goes against evolution. I have yet to find any valid, scientific evidence that suggests evolution does not occur.

    Biologists all over the world have tried to find proof that evolution is false, without success. Since you have evidence that falsifies it, why don't you reveal it to the scientific establishment?
