Because Big Bang is the prevailing theory of evolutionists of how life occurred on earth. There are other theories, but I'm addressing the primary theory. It is all part of the "evolutionary package."

Huh? Big bang is a cosmological theory. What does it have to do with anything else? Doesn't it stand or fall on its own merits, just like any other theory?

As Jennyp pointed out, Darwin certainly never heard of such a thing as big bang theory. He just studied life as it is.

I have never heard the theory discussed in full without the big bang also being discussed; but, hey, if you want to discard it as unimportant, I'm willing to stick to what we see here on earth. Of course, I believe it was Jennyp who also wanted to discount evidence of living dinosaurs (forgive me if it was someone else), so I don't know where we are supposed to stop on that one.

Huh, so this is what 7am looks like!

Sorry to but in, but I couldn't let this pass.

This is why scientists don't like to talk to creationists or ID'ers. Evolutionary theory applies to biology. When you say you've heard it discussed with the big bang theory, you're telling us that you haven't been exposed to scientific discussion, just interested laymen or creation/ID websites.

From some of your posts it's clear to me that your ideas about science come from these websites (or media reports - I think the media reports might be worse). So you're bringing a creationist/ID'er strawman to the table that we've all seen before. You really want to talk theology and find that folks are slightly hostile because they can't quite make the connection to where you're coming from because you say "evolution".

Sorry to interrupt.
