[a] Don't see how the theory of evolution and the big bang contradict anything that is taught in Christianity or the other two Abrahamic religions.
[b] I understand your point, but how could the laws of physics and mathematics be set in stone? I am a firm believer of the big bang theory but how could all these complex laws exist in the time before, time itself even existed. and just pop up out of nowhere and create itself. You have to remember that before the spark that caused the series of events after the big bang nothing existed not even the pure notion of nothingness existed.

[a] in christianity.. The God.. created everything in 7 days.. one of those creations included in the "everything" were humans.. he "created" adam and eve.. which would mean full fledged, full EVOLVED humans.. in the bible they spoke.. to eachother... to god.. w.e...
where as with darwins theory of evolution... the primordial soup + time + random = life and beings which would then "evolve" into the humans we are today.. i however.. disagree with both.
[b] believe me the every single theory that ive read on what time ACTUALLY IS... has been taken into my brain.. whether i understand everything in the lectures/theorys i hear doesnt concern me but i absorb it and it plays part in my overall beliefs.. i know that if time is even REAL... then time as WE UNDERSTAND it... has a beginning and an end... but the way i think about it... TIME is one whole big thing itself.. and the alpha and omega have already began and ended... but it still changes.. kind of like the video said about the waves of the ocean.. its like the ocean of time.. its always one big whole.. but the surface is always changing.. all the time.. (imo because of the power of free will). annd on the other note.. if you look at how everything is... (regarding the laws of time/space/reality)... the universe, as far as planets locations go.. is pretty random.. (which is how i would assume it would be if the big bang theory is true), when the explosion or implosion or w.e created the universe everything was spread thru endless space as far as we understand... buttttttt the planets in our solar system all revolve perfectly.. lwhy doesnt the moon eventually crash into the earth.. or get sucked into the sun... there ARE some laws that are just LIFE. thats my view
... just being brief
A. In the beginning God created etc etc etc
It doesn't explain through what means he created the world, Christians fully believe that the human body was created through millions of years of evolution and will continue to change as the human species moves on. What Christians believe is that a God created the human soul in his image.
B. The big bang theory isn't a theory on how the universe was created, its a theory on how it evolved. There is a huge difference.
