A snowflake has a specific shape, is that design? Or is it random?

The real answer is those positions are too simplistic to accurately describe what's going on. I think you are being far too simple in your descriptions here.

This is incorrect. In fact when the big bang theory started to gain traction, many scientists had a distaste for it because it looked "more religious" than the previously held steady state theory. They didn't like it because it sounded too close to the creation account in Genesis! Yet they had to accept it because of the huge amount of evidence.

Can you provide a definition of the big bang (without looking)?

In science a theory doesn't mean an idea, it means a well supported set of concepts and such that explain a phenomenon, complete with confirmed predictions and explanatory power. Gravity is also a theory, do you distrust gravity in the same way?

There are hundreds of thousands of links in thousands of museums and Universities and research labs around the world. There's millions of links written in the genetic code of every organism. So yes, actually it has been discovered.

What does evolution or the big bang have to do with God existing? Honestly, I'm curious.

More Christians than not believe in God but also accept evolution. They are not mutually exclusive. I get the impression that you think they are and I'd like to know why.

I agree that there isn't any proof, but again you seem to be talking about a group that doesn't exist... the only one in this thread that I think has said they think they do exist and are visiting us is FoxMulder91, and he hasn't said anything about God I don't think. Who are you talking about here?
