Glad you're not a 'one-post wonder' and are participating in your own thread. From what you said in your first post about 'one question', I assume you are satisfied with the answers you got on the Big Bang. I'm gratified that your new question actually concerns evolution.
What would it mean for your position if we had no idea at all? Nothing. Not being able to answer your questions doesn't make whatever answer you have in mind the slightest bit more likely. If you think that it does, that logical fallacy is known as an argument from ignorance, and the practice of filling in any holes in our knowledge with your favorite deity reduces it to a 'God of the Gaps'.
But in a nutshell, organic chemistry, which goes on all the time without life needing to be involved at all and is capable of producing highly complex molecules under conditions that there was evidence for being the case likely produced a molecule capable of replicating itself. Once you have a self-replicating molecule with high but not perfect fidelity, the process of evolution takes over, and is perfectly capable of 'adding complexity'. If you aren't mystified by a snowflake forming from water vapor, this shouldn't be too astounding for you.

Can I ask you a question?
Why do you think being an atheist means you have to not only understand but clearly explain to a layman complex scientific theories?
If you are truly interested in the process of evolution and the history of life on Earth, I think you should reach for a book written by an actual evolutionary biologist. That should answer any questions you have. You could also just Google scientific papers or articles.
I wasn't going to get involved in this thread, because I like my blood pressure as it is But this really isn't the right place to look for education... and if your argument was going to be "you can't explain it clearly enough, therefore intelligent design and creationism", then save yourself time - that leap in logic is not going to fly.
It's actually very flattering. To many Christians, apparently, we come of as experts on a variety of scientific topics. It's relative, I suppose.

Please try to refrain from just joking around or asking a question to my question.Thanks!
When you string people along and don't get to the point, they're entitled to fill in the time with jokes at your expense. Here's my question for you: Why don't you just cut to the chase?
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
