Evolutionists say that the big bang came from matter and energy?

the flying spaghetti monster

Well, as you've been told, evolutionists and cosmologists are two different sets of people, but an evolutionist (like me) can have cosmology as a hobby, and a cosmologist can have evolution as a hobby.

The big bang was initially an expansion of energy. In the earliest moments, there was no matter. Energy was converted into matter. The initial energy came from a singularity, a place where the known laws of physics break down. There is considerable speculation about the singularity. Stephen Hawking has proposed that the big bang created time itself and so there was no time before the big bang. Sean Carroll has proposed that the singularity came from a pre-existing, eternal, and possibly infinite multiverse.

Neither the science of evolutionary biology nor the science of cosmology has anything to say about God and faith and religion. Scientists follow the material evidence, wherever it may lead. Scientists may have their own personal opinions about religion, and sometimes they speak about them, but they do not speak about religion in their role as scientists. Science itself is silent on the subject of religion, as it should and must be.

Finally, I'll offer my opinion that you know much less than you think you do. I think that what you need most right now is a good dose of humility.

You're asking in the wrong section. Evolution is very specific, and deals with changes in life over time. It doesn't even deal with the origin of life (since evolution would have continued in the same way if life had arisen chemically, been planted here by aliens, or created by God Himself). If you're interested in the Big Bang, then you should probably ask in the physics section, since it is more of a cosmological question.

I have no idea where you're getting your information about "evolutionists". I know just as many atheist scientists as I know devout Christians (plus a few Muslim and Jewish scientists as well). Likewise, I know some scientists who are jerks, and some who are good decent people (and a similar spread amongst Christians who reject evolution). You're conflating personal traits with profession and belief here.

Get your facts straight. It is astrophysicists, not evolutionists, who say the present universe came from the Big Bang.

Evolutionists may have an opinion on the Big Bang, but that has nothing to do with their acceptance of evolution.

That the Big Bang occurred is based on a good deal of evidence, but that has little to do with what caused the Big Bang. Nor does it have anything to do with evolution.

There are hypotheses about where the energy that came out of the Big Bang came from, but our lack of knowledge about that source is no justification in believing that Zeus, excuse me, Odin, excuse me again, I mean Yahweh had anything to do with it.

You mean physicists, not evolutionists. I suggest you try and understand the opposing viewpoint before attacking it, that way you'll look less dumb.

The matter and energy was contained in an infinitely small, dense area that essentially exploded outwards in the big bang.

Okay first of all, evolution has nothing to do with the big bang, so your assertions have no meaning whatsoever. Evolution is concerned with the modification and descent of species. That's it. It just happens that most people who accept evolution also accept the big bang theory, but they are separate theories. I'll give you some time to go and accept that before you come back and try asking again in a more coherent way. Also, try to understand why not knowing what happened prior has nothing to do with the validity of a theory explaining the during or the after. You should also try to understand why its not necessarily a higher power that caused it, and thats just one drop in a big bucket of other hypotheses.

"Evolutionists" (whatever that may mean) don't say anything about cosmology. Different field. Astronomers don't try to tell us how ecology works, we don't tell them how the Universe operates. Unless we're all drunk, of course, but that goes without saying.

I'm not sure where you get your ideas from, but whoever tells you all that is just making stuff up. You can't do much about his foolishness, but you don't have to believe it. Read the parable of the wise and the foolish stewards, and consider it in light of the fact that we presumably have a brain for a reason.

Evolutionary biologists and paleontologists do not deal with the big bang which happened about ten billion years before life started on earth. However, they have produced a lot of scientific evidence showing how life has evolved. One simple measure that I use is the number of feet of bookshelf space in my office that is devoted to books that provide evidence for evolution versus the number of inches devoted to Biblical genesis. The ratio is about 60 feet for science and less than a tenth of an inch for genesis. Evolution wins hands down.

1) Evolutionists only exist as caricature of anyone who doesn't believe in creationsim.

2) Evolutionary Biologists don't generally specialize or offer an expert opinion on cosmology

3) Whether the matter/energy has always existed has no bearing on the theory of evolution..

4) Science doesn't comment on the supernatural.
