Well it certainly doesn't speak against it, which is kind of what you'd expect from humanity's moral guide delivered by the perfect moral being. And yes, there was reasons for Jesus to help His people's enemies. That's like saying if you found an injured Iraqi woman in the street you shouldn't help her because you people are at war with her people. That doesn't really fit with the promoted picture of Jesus.

if my family told me something serious, I'd believe them even if I had no immediate evidence of it.

Well, that is really my point. That is not a good reason, if they didn't have any evidence they were probably wrong.

In the case of evolution, it is my opinion that there is not (enough) evidence to back it up, and the estimated chances of it happening are so incredibly minute that it shouldn't even be considered possible. When I look at the biological complexity and intricacies of a human being, or any mammal, the word "random" does not come to mind.

You see, there is a lot more evidence for evolution, and that you think that it predicts random chaotic organism shows a lack of literacy on the subject. There is random mutation and natural selection, natural selection being a deterministic process. But I digress.

Just because something is commonly taught does not mean it is true. There are many examples from history of that.

But you said you are willing to believe your family on their word alone. So family without evidence trumps scientific consensus with evidence for you? This seems an arbitrary distribution of authority that only serves to confirm your bias.

And for the why matter exists, you are right. But just to be clear, Big Bang theory does not have anything to say about the origin of the universe, just that in the past everything was extremely dense and gets denser as you go back in time and at some point in this regression known physics break down and we can't say anything with any confidence. Though there are some interesting theories floating around about how the universe could come from nothing there isn't anything established really, but it's a misconception to think it had to have come from nothing. The universe could have always existed in very different states for all we know, it is just that at some point it was so compactly concentrated, by it I mean space and time itself included, that it was functioning in a way that we can't describe, at least yet. You can't go from all that to "therefore god did it".

I don't have to be able to explain the origin of the universe to realise that Genesis is a crappy explanation.
