Okay I KNOW this isn't EVOLUTION it's called ABIOGENESIS but I asked how evolutionists think life started if they don't believe in CREATIONISM and I got just a few answers. I'm wondering if you believe in the BIG BANG why do you believe in it and is there any EVIDENCE??

Yes. Big Bang is a fact.
Look up COBE. Look up Microwave Background.

Nicole, it takes no faith to accept that which is proven.
Big Bang is proven.

I think you can believe in God/creator and the Big Bang at the same time. I believe that God used the Big Bang to put things into motion & that the "world created in 7 days"is just a simplistic way for people thousands of years ago to describe the creation of the universe that they didn't have technical understanding of... 7 days, 7 million years, whatever, someone/ something had to get it started & God/ Universal Intelligence/ whatever you want to call it started it with a Big Bang.

I don't believe IN it, I simply believe that it is the best answer given the circumstantial evidence.
All it takes is a basic understanding of what the Big Bang theory is and what it isn't (look at the guy below that things the Big Bang directly resulted in the creation of stars, planets and, get this, animals) to accept that it's the best answer at the moment.

Yes, the Big Bang event has been proven to have happened. All the details are not all filled in yet and we are still learning many things about the Big Bang. One of the major places that we need more information is where the pinpoint of matter came from in the first place. Yes,yes, I know the christians will say that God put it there and we will get into the typical discussion of "If the universe needs a creator the so does god......." There are many hypotheses that explain where the matter came from initially. We have yet to find concrete proof for any one of them. We will in time though.

No, it's not abiogenesis either. The big bang is about the origins of the universe, not life. There is ample evidence: the microwave background, the galactic redshift, stellar compositions, in various galaxy types, and so on..

The big bang is only one possible explanation. At least scientists are trying to figure out things, rather than claiming they already know the answer. No one, can say they are 100% sure that the "big bang" is how everything started.
creationism however, is not even a valid theory. All it says is "something" just put everything here fully formed.
Of course scientists can't prove that something doesn't exist, doesn't exist. Just like you can't prove a pink unicorn doesn't like on pluto. Gilbert, you need to prove that god does exist first.

The big bang is the best explanation that we have for the sate of the universe.
Key items are the red shift of all objects - speed is proportional to distance.
The universal microwave hum that is the remains of the 'bang'.
I would imagine that the cosmologists could come up with a couple of hundred other things that support the big bang.
So:
Yes, I trust that the big bang happened.
Yes, there is lots of evidence for it.

The background radition in space is compelling evidence for a "big bang" type of creation of the universe.
Religious people need to understand something. Scientific theories are not something you "believe." They're arrived at by applying evidence to a situation and arriving at the most logical conclusion. If science doesn't yet know something, it says "I don't know." It doesn't work on beliefs.

Yes, I do believe in the Big Bang and there is a great deal of evidence.

Y E S, There's...
S U P E R B ... R O C K ... S O L I D ... E V I D E N C E ! ! !
1. Expanding Universe ( What Else Is Possible? )
2. Big Bang 'Afterglow' or Heat Residue... CBR / CMB.
The BB was hypothetical with Hubble’s expanding universe & Lemaitre's circa 1930 'cosmic egg'; became a theory with Gamow in '48 (including prediction of the BB heat residue - Cosmic Background Radiation - CBR) and was widely regarded as FACT after Penzias and Wilson happened across the CBR 'afterglow' in '64 (they weren't looking) and measured it at almost the precise level of that predicted: ~2.76 degrees Kelvin.
All the above - except Priest Lemaitre - are Nobel Laureates for their contributions to BB. … The COBE satellite has since measured CBR as almost uniform throughout the Universe; was nailed shut as FACT with wildly successful WMAP, including the famed precise dating of 13.7 bya.
(If you Google, CBR is also known as CMB; B=Background). Even religious organizations and sites recognise the status of BB Cosmology as 'FACT'... "After decades of struggle, other scientists came to accept the Big Bang as fact." (http://www.catholiceducation.org/articles/science/sc0022.html)
( ABIOGENESIS IS *NOT* BB - IT'S THE ORIGIN OF LIFE! )

Of course there's evidence. It wouldn't be considered a scientific theory otherwise. Look up Hubble, the expansion of the universe, and cosmic microwave background radiation.
It's not a matter of belief, it's a matter of accepting the overwhelming evidence.
