<< As long as we are looking for evidence, where is your evidence that the world is self-existing? >>

I guess that we can agree that the world exists. It either was created or is self-existing. The evidence for a Creator is silly Bible stories. If you believe in a Creator, then you must also believe that He is responsible for genetic defects and viral and bacterial disease, (which science is working hard to correct), the flooding in Somalia which killed thousands of helpless people (just the latest in a long list of catastrophes that He, apparently to amuse himself, unleashes on the Humans and animals, that you say he created), and me, who would question His existence.

The evidence for a Universe that has been in existence for at least 10 billion years, with the earth a relative newcomer at only 4 billion years is very strong, and getting stronger daily. The evidence for evolution is strong and getting stronger daily. The DNA that you mention is ever changing, which supports evolution. The evidence for the Biblical account of a Creator is non-existent. I conclude that the world, and the Universe, are self-existent.
