I know I'm new here, but the original post seemed to me to be stating his opinions, knowing most of us would disagree with them, in a relatively polite way. And you people come here and started cursing him out unprovoked. I can certainly understand the questions of "What do you expect us to say after you already said you wouldn't change your mind?", and the responses explaining how he gets the science wrong. But the responses here definitely seemed unnecessarily rude. I've been saying for 20+ years that spelling and grammar were the first two casualties of the internet, with civility in third. You people seem to be trying to prove that civility is actually the deadest of the three.
I'm no expert on evolution, so I have nothing to add there beyond what's already been said. But if the OP does come back to check in on this thread, I've got a book recommendation for him, with regard to his misconceptions about the Big Bang. I never really understood it, either, until recently starting to read Stephen Hawking's "A Brief History of Time". This is an excellent book, and really eye opening. I think before anyone tries to shoot down the Big Bang Theory, they should at least read the first chapter of that book.
If people expect their unsubstantiated and uncritical opinions to be received with anything less than some skepticism and mockery, the internet is probably not the place for them to engage, especially a forum such as this one. No reason for one to get their feelings hurt over it though.
