What is it about evolution that seems so illogical to you?

If I may pose a question:  Evolution is basically the theory that stuff
comes from stuff that came before it.  If you take stuff all the way back to
the Big Bang (or whatever universe starting event you wish), where logically
did *that* stuff come from?  At some point, you'd have to acknowledge that
some stuff came from nowhere, which seems illogical within the perimeters
of evolution (to me, at least).

but that's not about evolution anymore - it's the origins question, I
believe.

Hmm.  I see your point, but am still a little fuzzy as to the distinction.
Evolution, AFAIK, attempts to trace life back to proteins in a sea of goop, but
then again, I think it would be fair to ask from where the goop came, and so on.

I think it's ok to say I don't know what happened then, but to me,
the most logical thing that was before the big bang, was another universe...
basicly, we have a pulsing universe, that collapses upon itself once in a
while, resulting in a new big bang each time.  and so, to the end of time...
