"If there is no beginning how can there be change?"

We know there is an origin of life, Evolution just doesn't explain it, and NEVER has attempted to. The same way that Newton didn't attempt to explain the origin of matter when he worked out his gravitational theory. 'How could Newton describe motion of matter without knowing it's origin??!!' Simple: he took it as a given and didn't care where matter came from.

The same is true of evolution: it doesn't matter where life came from. The ToE only concerns what happened AFTER life was already here.

"I guess what you are saying is that since you don't have an answer there is no need to pursue it. Sounds like a copout to me."

Sounds like you are a slave to your preconceptions.

What is the Theory of Evolution? Common usage of the word "evolution" is the idea that living things in our world have come into being through unguided naturalistic processes starting from a primeval mass of subatomic particles and radiation, over approximately 20 billion years.

Sounds to me like evolution is trying to explain a beginning here. I say trying because it is just a guess. Can't prove it by science anymore than science can prove that man has evolved from "primeval mass of subatomic particles and radiation". I thought radiation is known to kill not grow.
