You've lied about "every" scientist 'believing' in evolution. An obvious blatant lie I tried to let you out of easily but you chose to try to defend the remark till the bitter end.
"There isn't frankly any proper scientific backing for rejection of the Big Bang. It's the only workable model that explains the homogeneity, acceleration, and directional movement of the universe."
Reality is God - so yes He is pretty amazing isn't He?
Oh...and does this time of year just completely get under your skin?
I mean Who are you giving Thanks to today? God or yourself?
Who are millions/billions of people giving thanks to today? A Super Natural Being or darwin?
Do you celebrate Christmas?
Why is it called Christmas? Christ - mas...
Where is evolution day?
And you call us the ignorant ones?

You're a little late to the party brother.
We've been going back and forth over evolution for weeks now.
My theory remark was more of an inside thing.
But since you decided to 'butt' in, and I'm such a nice guy, and I don't want you to look bad, here goes: In a nutshell some members here present evolution as a fact. Just as they did the big bang. Of course, we know for a 'fact' neither of these are indeed factual. I just like fng with them over the theory thing - it really pisses them off - so I keep doing it. It's funny as heck from my 'perspective'.

the methods used for measuring past time are inherently flawed because they rely either on the number of times the earth has traveled around the sun, on human oversimplification of observed phenomena or on processes that are based on actual time, that is variable based on the density of space.
the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium 133 atom.

You are assuming (!!) there is something like a "rooster".
Whatever we can't explain is simply NOT KNOWN.
Now religion fills that gap in knowledge with "god" or something mythical without providing any evidence to support those claims.
You are assuming they have a point, but at best, what they do is look at things philosophically...but philosophy has no boundaries, you can make up anything and think about it.
However, we can measure reality with science.
You assuming there's some other mythical reality is nothing but a philosophical hypothesis.
That which exists objectively and in fact
4. (Philosophy) Philosophy
a. that which exists, independent of human awareness

I knew that you wouldn't understand.... This is actually a simple concept. Although when you've been indoctrinated to believe something, you have to stop and start doing some individual thinking and rationalizing to get to it's understanding.
What humans have used for measuring time is completely inaccurate and by definition must be inaccurate. It's like trying to measure the length of a ruler if you're trapped INSIDE the ruler.
If Einstein's theories of relativity are true, then as space expands, time speeds up. Space is not likely to be infinite, it is likely finite, but as it expands it stretches. It stretches from the outside/in. The places where space is stretched more time moves faster. Therefore the closer we are to the center of the universe, the slower time moves. This disrupts our entire concept of history.
This is meted out with all observed phenomena. Notice I said all observed phenomena, not all calculations based on theories. Many theories are so wrong as to be laughable even though they are the current accepted paradigm.

Try thinking for yourself and stop relying on indoctrination by those that are well versed in the current paradigms.
You say ignorance abounds, but the ignorance you're talking about is ignorance of established paradigms that are historically likely to be completely wrong.
Try denying ignorance by observing and measuring and determining for your self what is most and least likely.
Remember that the only certainty is that your individual consciousness exists, everything else, you accept on faith.
If you don't understand the term "I think therefore I am" then you are hopelessly lost in ignorance.
I know what I don't KNOW... Everything except that my consciousness exists. I believe a whole lot more than that, but I understand that it is belief.
Now tell me, which one of us is steeped in ignorance???

They're entirely different things. It might actually be interesting to discuss stuff from a philosophical standpoint...but religion can't expect to attack science and then justify it through philosophy when evidence (math) is against it.
Religion claims to KNOW the ultimate answer.

No, as 'creation' requires a 'creator', hence evolution makes no claims to it. Evolution is simply a consequence of life which contains genetic coding.

No one said evolution claims there's a creator.
Evolution describes creation.
