*eyeroll* Oh c'mon, not the "only a theory" line again.
Don't you know what a scientific theory is??
In science, a theory is a mathematical or logical explanation, or a testable model of the manner of interaction of a set of natural phenomena, capable of predicting future occurrences or observations of the same kind, and capable of being tested through experiment or otherwise falsified through empirical observation. It follows from this that for scientists "theory" and "fact" do not necessarily stand in opposition. For example, it is a fact that an apple dropped on earth has been observed to fall towards the center of the planet, and the theories commonly used to describe and explain this behavior are Newton's theory of universal gravitation (see also gravitation), and general relativity.
Look, I know you don't actually want "proof" of the big bang or evolution, but if you ever get curious, visit the sites listed below.
By the way, what do you mean by "fact"? Your faith in the Bible does not render it "factual". The Bible may say that God created everything, but one requires FAITH to believe such a claim, faith because it is NOT, in fact, evidenced or proved.

The above posters have given you enough proof of evolution alone. And that's barely the tip of the iceberg, the evidence is overwhelming. And you claimed that the Bible proves God's existence and divinity. I mean, seriously, you don't see the flaw in this "argument". I can point to any book or any object unrelated to any statement and say it proves what I'm saying....doesn't make it true. Of course if that's how your mind works...any rational explanations you won't accept nor understand. I'm not degrading you at all by the way. I'm just pointing out your logical fallacies.
Edit: Wow. You say numbers and stats mean nothing to you, and then tell us we have to prove it. Well, dude, numbers and stats are integral for proving anything, they are called evidence. Not to mention we didn't give you only numbers and facts, we gave you concepts...but you'd actually have to consider them.....I honestly can't imagine what you'd accept as proof.
And the bible is true because its historic scripture?? Well there are writings on various gods long before the Christian god came along. So I'm guessing the older...the more "historic" therefore the most true?? I'm just trying to understand your reasoning.

The Pope, Catholic Church, Church of England and mainstream churches all accept the big bang and evolution! Lord Carey the former Archbishop of Canterbury put it rather well – “Creationism is the fruit of a fundamentalist approach to scripture, ignoring scholarship and critical learning, and confusing different understandings of truth”! Nice that christians and atheists can agree and laugh together even if it is at fundie expense! But behind the laughter is the despair at the fundamentalists striving so hard to destroy christianity by turning it from a religion to an ideology! Surveys suggest that 29% of American christians are so extremist in their beliefs that they fall well outside of the accepted bounds of christianity!

"God did it" is not an answer. Ancient mythological texts are proof of nothing except how primitive humans thought things worked -- they were wrong about just about everything. Bats are not birds. Rabbits do not chew cud. The Earth is not the center of the solar system, never mind the universe. And on and on . . .
Prove, scientifically, that not only a god exists, but that it's the one you believe in, and that it did and does everything which you credit to it.
Science is the best way we humans have to examine reality. No scientific fact is taken on faith. Science is about seeking answers, even if we don't like what we find, not about proving preexisting beliefs.
There are many popular misconceptions about the scientific terms theory, law, and hypothesis. The differences and similarities are explained here: http://wilstar.com/theories.htm
Instead of burying your head in ancient mythology, read and learn about reality.

"Please answer ur opinion nicely without any bad language or degrading me."
you're ignorant and deluded. but i don't mean that as an insult. i believe you could change. there are so many facts that support evolution and the big bang that it's really rather difficult for me to believe that you've never heard of any of them. so let's just take two examples:
1. how do you explain the features of the cosmic microwave background radiation (including being fit by a black body curve and isotropy), if not with the big bang theory?
2. how do you explain the fact that life on earth can be grouped according to its features into a single nested hierarchy (morphology and genetics giving almost identical hierarchies), if not by common descent evolution?
you may have to do some research to understand the terms i have used. i look forward to your answer. if you wish to say that 'god did it' please explain why god chose to do it this way and not some other way that god (being omnipotent) could have done it.

Evolution cannot be proved and the big band also can not be proved. Even god creating everything also cannot be proved. The Bible says, is not proof what so ever. In fact god hadn't really created anything that can be proved. In fact, nothing be proved about the creation of everything, so I'm going along with that everything was never created, and it has been here all along.

All right. One last time for today. What you are thinking of is a hypothesis. That is the one that has no evidence. A theory is something that has much evidence, has stood the tests of time, and is safe to teach. The only step higher is a law of nature, which is 100% guarenteed acurate, and is known to be a universal constant. I don't feel like going over everything else right now, but please feel free to visit my profile and see the other 4 evolution questions I have stumbled upon and answered today. See what the others have said too. Pretty interesting stuff.

"Evolution and the big bang are only theory with no facts to base it off of."
This is a contradictory statement. There can't be a theory if it isn't supported by facts. And the evolution theory is a very strong theory. So strong, that when given the evidence, no logical person would deny it. I've never meet someone educated on evolution who didn't accept it.

Evolution .... no facts ? ... evolution is fact .. theories aren't just peoples opinions... they aren't just ideas that came from mid area. Theories are based from facts. I mean.. Gravity is a theory.
our facts come from many many sources.. not just 1 such a the bible. You cant prove the bible with the bible. and you cant prove the bible with saying.. it just seems easier to believe..
as for the big bang.. i cant speak of since i dont know too much about it.. but not all atheists believe it

One can prove that the theory if evolution does take place in our every day lives, however, we can;t necessarily prove that apes evolved into humans, as we don't have all the links.
Bones aren't always perfectly kept over time, in fact they rarely are. However evolution does take place.
The Big Bang on the other hand, is a more.. obscure theory, there is more guesswork involved and we don't see it happening everyday so it is definitely more questionable and harder to prove.
The link is one of many that proves evolution.
