Okay, all knowing modernman, tell me how evolution works without the earth being a zillion years old and without the perfect alignment of the earth and stars as a result of a big bang?
The universe was created by a delinquent alien intelligence when his parents weren't looking. He created everything in the universe up to the first form of life over the course of billions of years, then he got bored and let evolution do the work over the last several billion years.
Like I said, for the purposes of the TOE, it doesn't matter where the universe and life came from.
