wish you can question your Doctrine too.

No where in Genesis 1:1 did it say universe has a beginning


Don't play
It was presented in a simple and logical way
In a lay understanding, what comes to mind from the human standpoint is the heavens and the earth which are components we can see and unique to our environment...
Other parts mentions skies as well

Or other parts of the universe the Bible did not mention means they were not created?
Bible did not mention things like microorganisms and other planets as well
All the same, science agrees the universe has a beginning

If you were debating the earth could not be an effect of a designer? It would come from who? Itself or booom? Earth appeared

Based on facts or mere speculation
Why shouldn't we question science as to evolution especially using scientific approach?

Besides, I don't know which part of science agrees with evolution...
Evolution breaks the common concept of reproduction... Parents produce like offspring but they mention how we evolve from one animal or the other and share common ancestral lineage
The human brain cannot be a product of evolution
Scientists don't even agree on its definition and evem the concept of what Darwin said is becoming odd and being revised

All scientists today accept the theory of evolution as to the origin of life and diversity of species. Yes or No?

1. Origin of life: The process by which life first arose from non-living matter. Miller and Oparin

2. Diversity of living forms: The variety of different types of life that exist on Earth. (Darwin and Wallace)

Or I should describe the scientists mentioned above?



As to your second question, I will mention one known example if you answer me first

Do all scientists today (including biologists) accept the theory of evolution?

Macroevolution refers to evolutionary change that occurs at or above the species level. It involves the formation of new species, the diversification of lineages over long periods of time, and the emergence of novel traits or characteristics. It encompasses significant evolutionary events such as speciation, extinction, and adaptive radiations.

Charles Darwin, in his book "On the Origin of Species," defined evolution as "descent with modification," describing how species arise from a common ancestor and gradually change over time through the process of natural selection. He wrote, "Owing to this struggle for life, any variation, however slight and from whatever cause proceeding, if it be in any degree profitable to an individual of any species, in its infinitely complex relations to other organic beings and to external nature, will tend to the preservation of that individual, and will generally be inherited by its offspring."


Ernst Mayr, defined evolution as "the change in frequency of genes in a population over time." He explained that evolution is driven by mechanisms such as natural selection, genetic drift, and mutation, resulting in changes at both the genetic and phenotypic levels.

Richard Dawkins, a well-known evolutionary biologist and author, wrote, "Evolution is a process that is responsible for the diversity of life on Earth. It is a process [b]without foresight, [/b]and its consequences are determined by a combination of genetic variation, the inheritance of that variability, and the environmental context." Any evidence? Dawkins no give any evidence as to his assumption

Because you have not done the research to ask and knock and seek so you may may know, it's likely hard for you to consider that others might have done the research so they may know. And you expect the research they may have done to be given to you instead of you doing your own research.

Believers accept made up ideas without proof or facts. Good thing is you are agnostic, which means you will ask and knock and seek until you do know, or you'd be lazy and just believe.

Did you observe his views? They are not honest. He results in insults because he has no explanations for the questions being asked. He could not provide an explanation of the origin of human existence, nor did he provide explanations on how the creator of the universe is not a mystery. He would have just said he didn't know instead of trying to defend his dishonest stand.
 
Personally, I do not subscribe to believing in something just because we are told, without making an effort to find out if it is true or not. I do not claim I know it all, nor can I prove the mysteries in the world for now.

If you cannot answer my yes/no question then. It means you are are not sincere with your question

The name I wanted to mention is still very much alive today and a lump in the throat for all evolutionists... He wrote a book and they set out to challenge it 🤣🤣🤣
