It's a fruitless, frustrating endeavour.

Both sides believe at some point in the distant past that the universe was 'started' Creationists call this force 'God' Evolutionists don't know what it was, and say it was from nothing. Something from nothing is not a plausible scientific theory so they need a better answer than that. I am calling it 'God' you can insist it was nothing that made everything, but I can't understand how that is a satisfactory answer. You should at least say some unknwn force, energy etc. (this of course would just point to the start of the universe and imply there is something else there before the 'universe'
I guess I am saying both arguements take a leap of faith on how things got rolling.
