Or do you prefer a different theory of how the universe came to be?

If you can't understand the difference between Biology and Astrophysics ... how on earth do you expect to understand the how the Big Bang theory works?
Evolution is a theory of *biology*. In fact, it is the *bedrock* unifying theory of all of biology. It explains only the evolution of life from the first cells (as that is as far back as the evidence goes). It does *NOT* claim to explain the origins of life, much less the origins of the universe!
The Big Bang theory is a theory of *astrophysics*. It is based on the clear evidence that the universe is expanding ... and therefore could not have been expanding forever. There are many proposed explanations for what *caused* the Big Bang ... but that is a *very* complex question because the very nature of time itself breaks down at the moment of the Big Bang.
So if you want to challenge evolution ... go for it, but *learn* a bit about it before you do. Likewise if you want to challenge the Big Bang theory.
But don't just enter a science forum throwing challenges at "evolutionists" as if all of science that *you* disagree with (clealy without understanding *at all*) falls under the same umbrella.

The current theory is that the Big Bang occurred when two parallel universes came into contact. We're a long way from knowing for sure.
Not sure what substances you're referring to, but the earliest universe consisted of only the simplest elements - Hydrogen, Helium, etc. All the more complex elements, such as the ones we're made of, were created in the combustion of stars and spread across the universe as stars died and exploded. We really are stardust.

Evolution has nothing to do with the big bang. Cosmologists aren't equipped to go farther back in time than the apparent singularity. M-brane theorists talk about intersecting branes. If you learn some science, you'll be able to ask the question intelligibly. Then, if you find some intelligent and objective scientists, they will tell you that science currently has no answer to the question of where things came from in the first place.

Read James Hogan's "Kicking the Sacred Cow" He offers alternative thinking sometimes with evidence.

I am an evolutionary biologist and I do not have to explain the " big bang. " organism evolution does not begin until there are organisms. You question is so vapid that it is not even wrong.

the big bang is just a theory, so why do you think all evolutionists believe in that? this planet may have evolved from a tiny, baby, cute monkey.You never know

No one knows where the material for the big bang came from. If you studied it you would see it is consistent with Genesis.

Basically, you don't.
