On the other hand since we don't know how/what/(possible even when) the bing bang happened, doesn't it also need a considerable amount of faith to believe in??
It would require some faith to decide that the Big Bang is the start of the universe in the face of a lack of evidence or evidence to the contrary, yes. It would require "a considerable amount" of faith to decide that an undetectable creature who always existed and curiously avoids leaving any physical evidence of his actions (though he is said to have done so frequently in the distant past) fashioned an entire universe from matter he either found lying around (where did that come from?) or that he simply produced from nothingness.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
