Science And The Bible - Introduction

[CoxRox]

There is an interlink, but strictly speaking the theory of evolution through natural selection and genetic mutation can only come into play when life is formed. Before that there is nothing to evolve or select or mutate.

I thought evolution was based on the theory that the big bang caused 'matter' to spew out into space. This formed planets, etc. The base elements on the planets, coupled with the electricity, sun etc, reacted with these elements to form things like amino acids and eventually enough 'building blocks' were formed to start binding together and forming life forms? Surely this is the fore-runner of evolution?
