No matter what one believes the main question remains as to how it all started.

Evolution needs a starting point and no one can explain how evolution started only how it developed(to the best of my knowledge).

God could be a chemical reaction that started or created it all.

 

Remind me how the evolution process started please.

Without the aide of fully functional time machine will never know exactly how it happened. That doesn't stop us from determining how it COULD happen. Much headway has been made in this area over the last 60 years or so.

 

Here are a few to papers to get you started.
