You say a lot of things but you never back them up with anything.

I know there are scientists that would disagree with the big bang theory, but are we even talking about that?

We're talking about evolution on the earth. The earth was not formed by the big bang. The earth is about 3.5-4 billion years old. The universe is 13.8 billion years old if I remember correctly.

The rapid expansion of the universe is a fact. Its remnants can be seen using Doppler red shift. You can also see cosmic background radiation as a result from the rapid expansion.

Evolution is a fact. Life on earth started out in the oceans. Water is essential in life. Microorganisms evolve into more complex structures > organisms begin to populate the land and eventually, after billions of years, you get us. And yes, it is billions. It is believed living organisms started out much earlier than previously thought. Perhaps only half a billion years after the creation of the earth. You are 3 billion years of evolution.

For evolution and how the earth began, I highly recommend a PBS program called "Origins".

PS: Ktog and I would be happy to debate physics, astrophysics and the universe with you I’m sure.
