You have a fossil method right
Well, if you do how are you 100% certain it is right???
And do you have proof.
And also.
Since, I am currently learning biology.
If the big bang theory is right.
Then, wouldn't there be no organism or bacteria on earth.
So, how we evolve to become humans with such a intelligent complexed brains. Wouldn't that be Spontaneous Generation when nothing becomes , into something.
If i am correct.
Please, correct me if i am wrong.
And how do you explain all the miracles and spiritual things that happen???
(Example: my cousin had a brain tumor and they were going to do the surgery & me and my family prayed for 2 hours.
And when they were gonna do the surgery there was nothing there just a healthy brain.)
Another thing.
What about possesions??
demons ect.

Scientists aren't 100% certain, only 99%. There's always a tiny chance that new evidence would arise that changes everything. If science could not accept new evidence it would be stupid and mindless, like religion.
You learning of biology is not going as well as it could. The big bang formed elementary particles which formed atoms through the weak and strong atomic forces, via nuclear fusion these atoms became more complex atoms inside of stars. When these stars came apart gravity coalesced their material intro planets and other stars. Chemical reactions formed self replicating chemicals which lead to the first life. Between the big bang and the first life there is a gap of over ten billion years.
The origin of the universe is a subject of scientific debate, scientists have a good idea of what happened for everything that happened after the first millionth of a second but that first millionth of a second is a hotly contested topic in quantum mechanics. So far all the theories work without any gods magicing everything into existence.
Many miracles are proven to be fraud, hearsay, human error or scientifically explainable. I'm betting your cousin's miracle was one of those.
Possessions seem to be limited culturally and align perfectly with the possessed religious beliefs. For example a Hindu won't get possessed by Christian demons, only by the demons of Hindu lore.
It's a combination of schizophrenia and a deeply ingrained religious symbolism that becomes the obsession in a person's life.

Whooooah! That's a LOT of questions.
First up - its not a fossil method, but that's me being pedantic. The big thing is that no one can be sure ANYTHING is 100% right. Science goes for the best it can right now, when it finds a problem it tries to fix it, then it finds a problem with that and so on and so on. The search for knowledge is a journey with no end.
Big Bang. You seem to be talking about abiogenesis: if there was no life and now there is life then it must have started somehow. Its an intersting question and well worth looking into, but it has no bearing on the theory of evolution. The theory of evolution only starts with life and then goes on from there.
'Miracles and spiritual things' Hmm. This goes to a pretty deep philosophical discussion. I'm with the people (Karl Popper!) who think things can only be falsified not proven. I am glad to hear about your cousin, a brain tumour in one so young is not a thing I like to hear about. Why are you so sure though that it was prayer? You prayed and it got better. And? I had a beer and it got better. People took drugs and it got better. Bush declared war and it got better. A new series of friends was planned and it got better. Why pick prayer as the thing that worked?

Evolution is not something out of nothing as many Christians claim. It is the gradual change of animals to suit there environments. Something out of nothing is were God comes in how can you make a human out of dirt that is Spontaneous Generation. You can never be 100% certain about something is right saying that would make you arrogant and wrong. In response to your miracle and spiritual things happening a study was done to see if people praying for someone could make them better and guess what nothing happened. When you talk about possessions you are talking about people with mental disorders who need psychiatric not some Priest out of Exorcist.

As for the fossil record, dates are cross-checked by many different methods, including stratigraphy, carbon dating, fluorine dating, etc. The big bang theory and the theory of evolution are separate. There have been no proof of miracles. Tests on praying have showed it is superstition. Possessions are a merely some psychological abnormality.
Realize that science is not on a mission to disprove religion. Since the supernatural can not be tested (probably because it does not exist), science is completely separate from it, and explains phenomena through natural means.
If you want real answers to your questions, ask them individually in the appropriate sections. Fossils in anthropology, big bang in physics, evolution in biology.

I'm not an atheist, but you should probably pay attention in biology a bit more. Have you ever heard of mechanism? It used to be a theory to oppose vitalism (which means organic matter can only come from organic matter), but now it's been proved. Scientists have successfully been able to create organic matter from nonorganic substances commonly found in volcanic gases that would have been present around the time that the first living organisms started to appear (remember the earth used to be a giant sphere of lava basically).

Continue to learn about science-you have some misconceptions there.
Demonic possession? Are you serious?
And as for the tumor-what was the proof the doctor had that she had a tumor? Was it on an MRI? I'd have to be there to really feel that there is no unexplainable reason for that...your just saying it doesn't do much.

Dating methods are Cross checked with a variety of instruments.
As for the Possessions they were early man trying to explain mental disorders the same with Daemons.
Miracles don't happen. As for your cousin it was probably because of a faulty MRI machine.
