Ok, I don't quite see how the big bang theory has anything to do with the theory of evolution, but if you want to debate that as well then I think we can do that. So I think first I should clear up something, and that is how evolution works.
Evolution does not work by species "gaining information" as you put it. Evolution works by random mutations that are then selected by nature according to which mutations are most beneficial to the species in the current environment. These mutations could add new code to the genome, or they could delete it, make it redundant, or even duplicate it. Whichever of these occurs, the "information" that is stored in the genome is changed, and depending on what the DNA of that specific section of the genome was doing, the result of the mutation in the animal could either be beneficial, inert, or negative to the species. Most of the time, the mutation is inert, although it may become beneficial later in a different environment. Mutations are passed on when offspring are produced.
If a mutation is beneficial to a species in a specific environment, that mutation will be more likely to be passed on, since the carriers of the mutation will have a slightly higher survival rate than the other members of the species that don't have it. If the mutation continues to be beneficial, it will spread through the entire population of the species as the carriers will be the "fittest" and more likely to survive and pass on their genes. This process is called natural selection.
We'll leave it there for now, and I await your rebuttal / comments / questions. I don't want to overload the debate on my first post
