Any discussion of evolution is incomplete without a link to the origin of all things, The Big Bang. Yet, when I discuss evolution with agnostics and atheists they avoid the link, dismissing it as irrelevant, an ignorant non-sequiter, and instead try to steer the conversation back to debates over the meaning of "theory" as in "Theory" of Evolution, and the processes behind the scientific method.
Never mind, that the scientific method has yet to replicate the creation of a single living entity, not even one as simple as an amoeba, nor shown a way for a creature, say the whale, to have evolved from a sea organism, to a land organism (which is what they claim), back to a sea organism in any scientific way. They just say it happened, there's a fossil somewhere that proves that whales and hippos are related to the same common ancestor.
Well, ok, even if true, how did it all start? The fact there was once nothing, and then boom, the Big Bang and this whole marvelous universe with order and science behind if sprang into being is unexplainable by science, method or otherwise.
Here's a nice little essay on the subject, from Town Hall. As usual, the professional writers are much better at saying it than I.

Oh yah, thank God for evolutionists, putting science behind Creation...
If the people you're discussing this with deny the plausibility of the Big Bang, you might want to refer them to 'Ripples in Time' by a astrophysics person with the last name of 'Smoot'. He confirmed the Big Bang with so many facts based on his years of work in his field. His case was so compelling that an atheist scientist by the name of Hoyle who'd argued the Static theory (universe always was here, expanding, etc.) conceded to him.
The non-theist community are forced to deny the Big Bang because it lines up perfectly with the very first verse in Genesis.
Thanks for the tip.
