This OP (opening post) has two completely different topics in it. The big bang is the subject of cosmology and there are several threads on it. You might try reading over a couple. If you have questions you could add them there or if something really new then try a new PNT.
Evolution (without a qualifier and in the context of this site) usually refers to biological evolution. That would go in the separate forum for that.
In addtion, evolution may refer to the fact that living forms have changed over the history of the earth (obviously real) or the theory of how that came about (that is what mechanisms can produce that change). The theory is usually abbreviated to ToE (theory of evolution) or neo-Darwinism.
If you doubt the fact of evolution you might want to back all the way up and consider geology first. See dates and dating thread or Geology and the Great Flood threads. There you may ask your questions.
Again if you think you have a new specific question then you can propose a new topic.

ABE (added by edit)
We try to focus each thread on a separate topic because otherwise the conversation can wander all over the map. (It wanders anyway but it is nice to start off on the right foot
)
