Pure evolutionary theory rejects any influence from God in the process but also fails to offer up any mention of whether God was “created” by the same Big Bang event, or God(s) evolved from the primordial ooze, or God was surprised by the whole Big Bang and evolution thing, or God doesn’t exist.

Wow do you seem confused. Science doesn’t make supernatural claims. That is why we call it Science and not Religion. The Big Bang has nothing to do with Biological evolution. If the Big Bang and Biological Evolution are the means that God wishes to use to bring about Creation then who are we to argue?

Pope Benedict XVI said the debate raging in some countries — particularly the United States and his native Germany — between creationism and evolution was an “absurdity,” saying that evolution can coexist with faith.

The pontiff, speaking as he was concluding his holiday in northern Italy, also said that while there is much scientific proof to support evolution, the theory could not exclude a role by God.

“They are presented as alternatives that exclude each other,” the pope said. “This clash is an absurdity because on one hand there is much scientific proof in favor of evolution, which appears as a reality that we must see and which enriches our understanding of life and being as such.”

Evolution and the Big Bang have nothing to do with each other and shouldn't be conflated. Evolution describes what happened once life began several billion years ago. It has nothing to do with the creation of the universe or of the earth.
