I was responding to that claim the big bang posing a huge problem for atheists, when seeing quite the opposite being true. Much more an insurrmountable problem for magic wand waving fundamentalists. What we find in reality is so intuitive & reasonable, that a great many Christians have no hardship believing it as well. That long term gradual staged emergence of increasing ordered worlds that lends itself fully to the same successively staged idea that fits perfectly with evolution.

No imaginary battles here, all fits naturally into place, to the discovery of the great age & ordering of time & space itself.

One thing also pointed out, there is very little observed in the physical realm is ever random, most every event predictable & measurable down to precise miliseconds & nanometers. As for purpose, one can say intuitively with instinctual social creatures purpose emerges simultaneously along with their graduial increasing self awareness & sentience. We see much cooperative behavior in animals as well, the advantageous nature of cooridinated activities all the way back to functioning insect hives, migrating birds & herding creatures, even in the activity of solitary animals.

Evolved patterned behavior gathers over long periods of time, a function of natural selection, environmental pressure, species adaptation where very little whimsy or randomness is allowed or tolerated but much gradual building & steady replication... with one goal: replicating again & again.
