Just because you say its not science does not make it so.

Tell me, how does evolution work without the Earth being a zillion of years old? How does an old earth theory work without the Big Bang theory?

There is an interesting point to be found in your question, which you may have overlooked: the theory of evolution is consistent with, and not contradicted by, everything else that science has discovered. That's a powerful point in its favor. Creationism, on the other hand, requires that astronomy, cosmology, geology, nuclear physics, and probably a few other sciences be totally false.

Correct. The definition of science makes it so. Don't rely on me or Creationist websites - please. Take a brief look at the requirements of science. Testability and falsification are requirements.

From what I remember, according to Bing Bang, we are looking at 14-16 billion years? Earth comes into being well after that? Nothing to do with Evolution, however. The only possible agreement I see in the theories is that one gives time enough for the other to occur.
