In the beginning, God
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
~ Gen. 1:1
God has always existed.
It is this primary revelation that nullifies the great lie of evolution. If God is not eternal then evolution would have to be true. If the Creator God was not eternally self-existing, then He Himself would had to be the first in evolution.
It is ridiculous to even postulate that the smallest bacteria could have evolved.
Have you heard about "irreducible complex machines?"
Supporters of intelligent design argue that anything less than the complete form of such a system or organ would not work at all, or would in fact be a detriment to the organism, and would therefore never survive the process of natural selection. Although they accept that some complex systems and organs can be explained by evolution, they claim that organs and biological features which are irreducibly complex cannot be explained by current models, and that an intelligent designer must have created life or guided its evolution. Accordingly, the debate on irreducible complexity concerns two questions: whether irreducible complexity can be found in nature, and what significance it would have if it did exist in nature.
Behe's original examples of irreducibly complex mechanisms included the bacterial flagellum of E. coli, the blood clotting cascade, cilia, and the adaptive immune system.
Behe argues that organs and biological features which are irreducibly complex cannot be wholly explained by current models of evolution. In explicating his definition of "irreducible complexity" he notes that:
An irreducibly complex system cannot be produced directly (that is, by continuously improving the initial function, which continues to work by the same mechanism) by slight, successive modifications of a precursor system, because any precursor to an irreducibly complex system that is missing a part is by definition nonfunctional.

God did not come from anywhere. He has always been.
When God revealed Himself to Moses from the burning bush (Ex. 3) he charged Moses to go to reveal to His people in Egypt that He was going to deliver them from their Egyptian oppressors. Moses asked God, when I speak to them, and they are going to ask me "What is His name? What shall I tell them?" God said, tell them "I AM THAT I AM" has sent you.
God lives in the eternal present. There is neither past nor future for the one who inhabits eternity. (Isa. 57:15)
Jesus, the Mediator of the new covenant (1 Tim. 2:5) identifies Himself as the I AM (John 8:48-59) as well as the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last. (Rev. 22:13)
This Jesus, this Eternal God is your "very present help in time of trouble". (Psa. 46:1)
God created all things.
He did this by speaking it into existence. He did not have to do it this way, it is just the way He did it. He could have simply willed it and it would have been. He spoke it and gave us a record of Him doing it (the Bible).
The Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. (Gen. 1:2)
Jesus, God the Son, was the speaker. (Col. 1:16-20) Jesus revealed to us that He and the Father were One. (John 10:30-38)
God created all things in a set order.
He created the heaven and the earth. He created time. He is also the creator of math. He numbered the days of creation.
We have in the Holy Scriptures a "more sure word of prophecy". (2 Pet. 1:19-21)
You can trust in God the Creator. You can trust His Word.
God created you.
We were ALL in Adam. Eve came from Adam. We have all come from the union of Adam and Eve.
We belong to God by creation.
Only when we are walking in fellowship with Him are we truly fulfilled.
