would you say that evolution and big bang theory IS the complete truth of how life and the universe begin???
or maybe it is just the best explanation we have nowadays from what we can nowadays observe???
In the universe there may be forces not observable or measurable nowadays with our technology...and i am not referring to god just using logics, 100 years back they couldnt observe many things we can now, so who is to say in 200 years people will be able to bserve new things to create new theories about how the universe began.

i was just referring to another question where a bunch of enlightened atheists told me there was EVIDENCE to support the big bang...evidence means evidence

The big bang has many flaws and evolution is a sound model that is occaisionally tweaked to support new evidence. What's your point?
That's the great thing about science. It fixes its mistakes and is HAPPY to find mistakes to fix. It is a quest for knowledge which is what sets it apart from religion which is a quest to deny knowledge in order to live in a simple world where the Earth is 5000 years old and we are important in the grand scheme of things.
To your additional details:
There is evidence to support the big bang. They're right. The fact that there is scientific evidence to support it is more than any religion can claim.
Please give up your unfounded faith in made up Gods.

Evolution does not say anything about the origin of life. Scientists have defined the Big Bang (or, more precisely, the instant after the Big Bang) to be the origin of the universe because the physical laws that govern our universe do not apply before then.
Evolution and the Big Bang are not just ‘theories’. They are also facts. The fact that species evolve is easily demonstrated and was well known even before Darwin published ‘Origins..’ in 1859. The light and sound from the Big Bang can still be seen and heard. While the science of physics will certainly provide new future knowledge, it will not make either evolution or the Big Bang disappear.

No, they are just major portions: the distribution of mass-energy throught the universe and the diversity of life. Evolution isn't going anywhere, and the big bang will be refined, but religious doctrine will still remain in the Dark Ages.
Evidence does means evidence, and no amount of prayer, denial, and shouting lies until you are blue in the face will erase the fact that nature is the source of knowledge of the big bang and the refutation of Literal Biblical Creation.

well - it think we have a bit more scientific support for evolution and big bang theories than any other theory of how we came to be.
these are still all just theories. the difference between creation theory and evolution theory is that the former has not changed for thousands of years. evolution has, indeed, changed as a theory as new discoveries are made. which, then, is the theory that makes more sense?
believe what you will - fine by me - and you are right - in 200 years, we may know how it all happened. right now, i believe in the theory of evolution simply because it is the theory that is keeping up with the discoveries made in this era.

Negative evidence for either of those thing would not equal evidence that there was a god.
And the big idea for evolution is on such solid ground there is nothing to even think about. You might argue mechanism, but you are screwed trying to argue common decent.
The Big Bang has a lot of things that we don't completely understand around it, but again there have been numerous predictions made that have later been fulfilled.

It's the best explanation based on the research available. It's closer to the truth than any other theory out there.

Can you repeat the question?
Edit: Thanks. Well, I just don't know really. The big bang theory isn't entirely convincing and I don't think I have to choose between a higher power or the big bang theory.

it's entirely likely that there will be a better theory in 200 years. Science is all about examining the evidence, and re-examining, looking for better answers.
that better theory will likely resemble/expand upon current theory more than it will resemble stories in ancient books.

No, I don't think it's the complete truth, but I do think it's the best we have for now. I'm sure as we get better telescopes in space, more data collecting spacecrafts, etc., we will learn more. Learning more is what science is about. New knowledge is a good thing. :)

science evolves just like religions - there are scientific principles as well as religions that are no longer accepted or practiced - everything changes - this includes our relationship with god as well as our relationship with our understanding of reality - dont be too quick to label something as an absolute truth; given enough time, it will change into something else (this includes science and god - both are always changing)
