kluge,

“I’m curious - what is this physical evidence, and why is it that it cannot be accounted for?”

The physical evidence I am referring to is the current state of the universe, in terms of the various complex chemical species and life forms that exist. I have no problem with some aspects of microevolution through genetic mutations, etc. But the idea of a random mass of material undergoing a big bang and then having expanded and evolved over time to include complex molecules and life that ultimately led to what we see today is extremely unlikely, from a scientific standpoint.

Once you have complex life forms that can reproduce and undergo mutations, I understand how you can have a variety of different complex life forms (I am not sure if microevolution can account for ALL of the variety we now have, but I will argue that later). But the INITIATION of the complex chemical compounds and life forms is a difficulty for evolutionists. I have not seen a sufficient description of this process, including reasonable supporting numerical computations based on physical laws and random initial conditions, presented by evolutionists.
