I see I've been misunderstood...I've seen people posting about evolution, thinking that the Big Bang has anything to do with it...

No, but some Fundamentalists believe that we believe we evolved from the Big Bang. It just indicates ignorance of scientific theory. Evolution is biology/genealogy; the Big Bang is astrophysics.

The thing about the Big Bang is it is just a theory. Who is to say that God did not create the big bang? After all... we cannot go back to the beginning of time and see what, or when or why the chain of events that created life as we know it started, or how they happened. I think it is a very interesting theory, totally plausible. But do I think it is fact? No not at all.

The Big Bang and evolution are in separate fields of study. I am a genius with a college degree with honors. The Big Bang has beaten the Steady State theory about the origin of the universe. That is cosmology amd cosmogony. Evolution is well-proven in biology. I am not sure I understand your question, but I am an educated, objective, logical, etc. man, so I accept both the Big Bang and evolution. I know nothing about your "faith in humanity". What you think or believe and what I think are different matters.

According to the current origin theories, "we" evolved by a process called natural selection.
The "Big Bang" formed things like galaxies, stars and planets long before the beginning of life.
I suppose without a "Big Bang", there would have been no earth to evolve on... but the Big Bang is not considered a direct contributor to human evolution.

what does it matter what you've evolved from, a big bang is as good an explanation as any other. Will life on earth dramatically change if it wasn't a big bang that started everything? Anyway what we believe has happened millions of years ago doesn't change the fact that it happened.

No, but it could have been step one in the entire process. Evolution only applies to organisms though, not the random gasses and metals floating around after the bang. There are steps in between the possible Big Bang and the begining of evolution.
Its more feasible than creation 'theory'

No, I think we evolved from previous living things.
The Big Bang and Evolution aren't even the same branch of science. They are compatible, but your question makes no sense: the big bang was the event in which the universe was created, evolution involves the changing of species over time.

Hahaha No,
Its simply does not make sence how everything from a Molecule, to a cell, to a Human being was created by mere conincidence. Obviously there was a higher power behind it. Even looking at a cell structure makes you wonder scintists could even believe such non scence. Do you mean to tell me that the miracle of reproduction or even a plant photosynthesising is merely a coincidence?
My theory is that since most scientists are Atheists they needed something to Justify it. So in order to do that they came up with the "big bang"

To quote the History Channel "In the scientific community anyone who doesn't believe in the big bang is considered, well a crackpot."
The big bang is different from evolution, but I believe in evolution as well.
While, personally I don't believe in God, there is still room for God in both theories. After all our evolution looks like it was guided; other wise it seems it would have taken longer for us to evolve if even possible.
The best description for the big bang I have ever heard is; "In the beginning there was a void. Then God said, "Let there be light." and there was.
The big bang would have been a sudden, bright and silent explosion. There would have been no bang because there would have been nothing to carry the vibrations.

The Big Bang appears to be the start of the universe. We evolved through natural selection. There was 10 - 12 billion years between the two, give or take a billion. I suppose you could say one led to another, but that's like saying that the first cave man to dream about riding a horse led to the space shuttle. Both connections are a bit tenuous.
