Answer 1

Big Bang theory is the theory of the creation of the universe NOT evolution

Evolution is the theory that species are constantly changing and evolving and that changes in species are selected for by "natural selection"

for example lizards in grass are all red, they often get eaten

one day a lizard is born and the lizard is green, it cant be seen in the grass, so the genetic quirk allows it to survive and  mate, passing on the genetic code for "green" so now more and more lizards are popping up that are green....and after awhile all lizards are now green because the likelihiood they will survive is so much higher....

THATS evolution

and evolution is something that is said to be constantly occuring throughout time...people now are sometimes born without wisdom teeth....less likely to die of infection and wahtnot, they survive to pass on that characteristic.....

these things can take millinea to occur...

Answer 2

Science purports the Big Bang Theory.

Answer 3

My answer is life and mutation. Without life, evolution is not even a relevant question. And, without mutation, life does not evolve.

And, what started life? Read on Abiogenesis.

PS. Big Bang theory is about creation of the universe. While Big Bang might have started everything, it has nothing to do with evolution. Many celestial objects (i.e. stars, gases, dark matters) cannot even host life, let alone evolution.

Answer 5

these days most cosmologists and astronomers back the theory that there was indeed a creation,about 18 billion years ago,when the physical universe burst into existence in an awesome explosion popularly known as the "big bang"

Answer 6

Life...life started evolution and without life, (biological) evolution is quite impossible.

Answer 7
