I think a single-celled organism gradually turning into a fish, then into a frog, then into birds with wings, etc, is not likely. It's not likely because their parts are too intricate. Take, for instance, a bat (among others). It has echolocation (look it up). Even if people think evolution could explain this, it's still pretty incredible. More intricate parts are snakes with venom from their teeth and plain old apples and bananas.

Do you really think that it's more likely that everything was magically poofed into existence in 6 days, when there is tons of evidence that that is just not so? Sorry, I do not believe in magic.

Nothing cannot create something.

The Creator is the I AM. Before the world was, He is.

We are stuck in a dimension of time and space, to which He is not only free from, but He encompasses. It's impossible for our finite minds to comprehend an eternity going backwards, but that's precisely what we're talking about - 5 billion years ago, God is peacefully hanging out being Holy. 5 trillion years ago, He's still resting in His awesome glory.

Ditto for all time - In the beginning, God...(Gen 1:1)

Who created the dimension that God is in?

Seriously - anytime you ask "Who created..." just fill in God.

Woe unto him that strives with his Maker! Let the pots strive with the pots of the earth. Shall the clay say to Him that fashions it, "What do You make?" or His work, "He has no hands?" (Isa 45:9)
