Hi Flyer,
Minor quibble, I know. But I couldn't let it slide.

I believe God created time and before that it didn't even exist
How can one use the word 'before' when talking about a timeless existence? Words like 'before' and 'after' only make sense on a timeline. To say that God existed 'before' time makes as much sense as saying that he exists north of the north pole.
A better way of putting it might be: "God exists independently of time".

Now, how would this apply to evolution (if I assumed the big bang were true). What was time before the event??? Did it exist or did the Big Bang "create" time?
Evolution doesn't concern itself with the Big Bang. I don't know for sure about the rest of the questions, and I don't think anybody does at this point.
Respectfully,
-Meldinoor
