counter-counter question. ;) Where did anything come from? Is there a start? Is there a beginning? or is the answer something our brains can not comprehend right now?

According to the most common scientific theory, EVERYTHING WE KNOW, including space and time, was created with the Big Bang. What may have been before is actually outside our accessibility.
At Stanford University in California, the physicist Andrej Linde has a simple explanation for the existence of matter: "Our universe is simply one of infinitely many parallel universes with infinitely many different properties. A juxtaposition of innumerable worlds in which there are possibly completely different physical laws than in our world. And one of the many is purely accidental - namely that ours are designed in such a way that we can live in it."
Thanks! I'm aware of that, my point was a little tongue-in-cheek pointing out that just because we don't know why something works doesn't mean it can't be the answer. You said it best by saying that it is "outside our accessibility" how are there many parallel universes? How do we know? What caused the big bang? Why does it exist? We simply don't know the answers yet so we can't throw out any theory just because we can't fully understand/explain it yet.
It is impossible not to have the evolution, due to simple laws of chemistry: https://steemit.com/evolution/@alexs1320/why-the-evolution-is-inevitable
You can't ask the question "why" in the meaning of some kind of will or sense, idea... For example why the Earth is the ball-shaped? Because of the law of gravity. If you ask what is the purpose of gravity, that is not the question for science, because no matter what the reason is - the gravity still exists and has the same properties.
Good point, by "why" I meant "what caused it" and to be clear, I'm not arguing for or against any theory. I'm just pointing out that we don't know all the answers so we should keep an open mind.
Bravo!
"According to the most common scientific theory" does not contain any temporal or spatial markers. What is true in science today may well not be in 45,000 years time. Or next year. So are we back to believing in belief again? Can't we just admit that maybe Socrates was correct when he said he didn't have a clue?
Was this something said accidentally? "Our universe is simply one of infinitely many parallel universes with infinitely many different properties. A juxtaposition of innumerable worlds in which there are possibly completely different physical laws than in our world. And one of the many is purely accidental - namely that ours are designed in such a way that we can live in it." A statement that might might be true or false. Yet does not design and accident contradict?
