Don't ask me for proof when i get none in return. Buddhism has alot of spiritual meaning not just materialistic. I believe in that "stuff" because i choose to and find it more logical. I'm not like neo who believes that everything that has a beginning has an end. To prove how life begun, shouldn't you first ask how existence and matter begun?

Neo was a character in a film... I can't see how anyone can choose their belief system based on a complete fiction - although millions do.
Science endeavours to search for definitive answers about existence and the origins of the universe. Theistic teachings always tend to ignore the age and scale of the universe and the myriad other stellar objects in it.
The origins of life and the origin of matter are really separate questions. In the stellar time-line, matter existed long before life started. There is plenty of astronomical and geological evidence for this.
Existence only is a precept in cognisant minds. People endulge in religion often for egotistical reasons regarding their own self-importance, to devolve their own responsibilities to their faiths and in trying to overcome the fear of their limited lifespans.
If you want scientific proof, there is plenty out there. That's the beauty of science - its traceable, repeatable, unambiguous, open to criticism and debate. It doesn't offer false answers or hope where it has no evidence.
