If you are really interested in the question, and not just trying to suggest "We don't know, therefore God", here's an interesting article on the subject:
That is an interesting article. It does explain that eggs came first. But it doesn't explain the bridge between asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction, namely, eggs and seeds.
The evolutionary diversion leading to plants and animals happened a long time ago. There is no subsequent link between the two - natural selection favored those changes that provided a survival benefit given the environmental circumstances. You can look to compare similarities or differences between the two but there is no link between them, apart from a common source a long time ago.
You misunderstand again. How did plants "evolve" from asexual reproduction to seeding? Species at the time of said change is irrelevant. How did animals "evolve" from asexual reproduction to sexual reproduction via eggs? Species at the time of said change is irrelevant.
Stop asking questions Tyrone. Don't you know we're supposed to accept it on faith! Truth is, scientists don't have a clue nor do they have a clue how material, inorganic matter became alive. They have nothing but hand-waving.
God did it is hand waving. We don't know, God did it. We don't understand, its the work of God. How did that happen, God works in mysterious ways. How did the Universe come about, God spoke and the Universe appeared.....

You obviously haven't read this thread as this has already been addressed several times. The non religious participants here have made no such claim about the origin of the universe. We have consistently said that we don't know how it originally came to be. Neither do you. But you are the ones claiming to KNOW how it started despite having no evidence to support that claim.
A materialist rejects God. Science has already settled the creation of the Universe as an event. Therefore the only possible option is for a materialist is to have faith in ex nihilo, ergo my statement is absolutely correct. Atheism is faith based. Just because empty words about "not knowing" are said makes no difference. If a materialist truly did not know then they would allow for God as an option. They don't.
You have obviously not read what I posted i other threads. I have shown clear evidence for the creation of the universe in the past via a supernatural means.
"Kalam Cosmological Argument" is a start, but I'm sure it will be ignored because it is not convenient for faith filled atheists to consider seriously.
When did science settle Creation by a Creator as an event?
