It is not unrelated to evolution. That's why the big bang is always right before (or after) the chapter of evolution in standard biology text books. Big bang teaches about the first living particle, and evolution picks it up from there. I've seen it, had to study it.

The Big Bang would have happened billions of years before the first living particle. The theory says absolutely nothing about the beginning of life, only about the beginning of the universe.
You didn't study it, you watched a creationist video.
'Had to study it'?
Clearly one of those Creationists who's been taught to completely ignore anything a teacher says that's 'against God'.
News flash, O Dutiful Herd Member - that ain't study. And if it had the Big Bang in it, it wasn't a biology textbook.
"That's why the big bang is always right before (or after) the chapter of evolution in standard biology text books"
big bang is advanced physics, evolution is basic biology. big bang is taught long after evolution, usually in an optional high school course just like religion is.
"Big bang teaches about the first living particle"
NO IT DOESN'T!
Evolution doesn't pick up from there. It takes about 10 billion years for evolution to start because the solar system has to form, then Earth, then the first life. Then that life can evolve.
You used science classes for nap time, didn't you?
Another idiotic fundie conflating abiogenesis, the big bang, and evolution? Say it ain't so!
I think this should be the definition of fundie:
Fundie: n, someone of minimal knowledge of anything relating to science; especially someone lacking any knowledge in the areas of abiogenesis, the big bang, and evolution; someone whose only explanatory abilities consist of lies, logical fallacies and unsupported assertions
"Big bang teaches about the first living particle"
Where does it say this? Citation seriously fucking needed.
"I've seen it, had to study it. "
And obviously there was no requirement that you understood the least thing about it.
Standard biology text books mention the big bang.
Standard Data networking text books mention how to roast Parsnip.
Standard chemistry text books mention how to set the timing on a big block Chevy.
Standard French language textbooks mention the history of the harmonica.
Standard music theory text books mention bricklaying.
Of course, all of these are in code, but by judicious rearrangement of the words and letters then all becomes clear.
It's their "study" remark that always makes me laugh. Saw a chapter once becomes extensive effort and understanding, was talking to Gould, Einstein and the Pope about it the other day.
Then there's not just the deliberate mis-explanation of it but also the always present derogatory attempt to bring it down to a childish fairie tale level so it may appear to be as simple as their religious base.
"that's why the big bang is always right before (or after) the chapter of evolution in standard biology text books"
So the order of chapters in some book somehow dictates what actually happened in reality? If so, how did these events occur before the book was written? Wouldn't the book need to be written first so these events knew in what order they were supposed to happen? For the book written with chapters reversed, does this mean evolution happened before the Big Bang? How is it possible for both books to exist at the same time? Wouldn't this cause some unresolvable conflict with reality? Wouldn't the actual events be confused as to which book they need to follow?
Idiot.
"I've seen it, had to study it. "
You may have "studied it", but you sure the fuck don't have the slightest clue how it works.
"That's why the big bang is always right before (or after) the chapter of evolution in standard biology text books."
Which textbooks exactly? Why don't you get us the ISBNs so we can investigate this bullshit claim of yours.
But wait a minute... even in a general "overview of science" textbook, it probably doesn't go straight from the big bang to evolution. If it was covering things in chronological order, there'd be stuff about the formation of stars, galaxies, planets, etc.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
