"I do not have time right now to totally get into this argument, but Einstein's thoery of "The Big Bang" in many ways goes totally against evolution."

First of all, Einstein didn't come up with The Big Bang so much as his General Theory of Relativity implied an expansion in what was thought to be a static universe. Secondly, I know of nothing in either theory of relativity which suggests that the theory of Evolution is impossible. Please elaborate if you're going to make the argument.

""Life" had to evolve!!! according to Darwin."

When simulating the specific conditions of the early Earth in a lab, we've seen certain amino acids and other compounds necessary for the formation of early lifeforms begin to form spontaneously. Getting from that point to the point of Prokaryotes has not yet (to my knowledge) been accomplished.

"If life has no purpose (as evolution suggests)"

Strawman argument - the theory of Evolution neither states nor implies this. That you infer it is a personal matter of faith for you. The theory of Evolution looks at what was, what is, and attempts to explain how we got from one to the other; purpose doesn't factor into that in any way, shape, or form.

Ok, you are right, I should not have said Einstien's Big Bang Theory. It just laid the building blocks for the near-law that it would become. I guess I should have given my credit to George Gamow or Edwin Hubble, sorry for the misrepresentation.
