No it is surprising now. Maybe not then. Tell me where did the god come from? You can’t believe in the evidence of the Big Bang but you can latch on to a being that created itself out of nothing?
That’s bonkers.

I'm certaintly not religious, but there's reasonable questionmarks to put forth.
In regards to the big bang, while it is certaintly a somewhat compelling option/explenation of how our universe might have started we are still very early in our understanding of our universe and the big bang theory might easily be swept asside in the future for a better theory build from better knowledge/exploration.
In regards to evolution, personally i think it is more likely that we were created by a far more advanced alien species than trough evolution on earth, even if from a darwinistic point of view that alien species should have once been the product of evolution on some other planet. Evolution seems to take milions of years to produce a sentient species on it's own from scratch whereas it seems well inside the potential of a sentient species to create the technoligy to appear as a god to a self created sentient species in maybe a few 10.000 years. The first sentient species in the galaxy might require natural evolution to come to exist, but the second sentient species to appear in the galaxy would imho more likely be a product of the first than that the freak of natural evolution would have happened again "in the next million years". And in a way "where there is smoke there might be fire" the likelyhood of having fairly deep religions existing with humans would have been more aided or more easily have been possible if there had been some actual interraction with highly potent alien creators in the past.
