This very "Big Guy" in the sky, created a guy to look like him and he in turn forfeited one of his ribs to have a mate. Neptune was appointed caretaker of the oceans and Atlas was in charge of holding up the Earth since Adam and his mate were too busy taking care of the dinosaurs.

Something that you can not prove or say you do not acknowledge means you must have some faith that life had an origin. If life did not have an origin then how did we get here?
Correct.

Nor can an astrophysicist, geologist, or a linguist.

None of those fields, like evolutionary biology, addresses the origins of life.

The fact that you think evolution should have something to say about the origin of life merely illustrates that you are quite ignorant as to what constitutes evolutionary biology

But we had to evolve from something and evolution does not address that key issue.
Creationist does state where life comes from .
Yes, it does. Again, you are ignorant of which you speak.

Humans (species of the Homo genus) evolved from Australopethicines.

You are very confused about evolutionary biology. You reject that about which you clearly haven't a clue.

This must be your first stint as an online Creationist, because this argument is pretty old...and pointless.
The Theory of Evolution has no explanation for how two sexes "evolved." A Theory must have an explanation for everything it deals with.

Please stop calling people who question TOE "Creationists." That is a straw man that is very easy to knock down. TOE has many open questions, but you will never see a TV program that deals with them. That is why TOE is virtually a matter of faith itself.

CB350: The origin of sex

Of course, what you meant to say was "The Theory of Evolution has no explantion for the evolution of sexes that I won't insist really isn't an explanation".
