According to the laws of physics, the universe shouldn't exist if the Big Bang produced it. Since the material ejected during the explosion had to travel at speeds greater than the speed of light, gravity is not strong enough to cause any of the material to condense into atomic particles. According to Newton, any object that is set in motion tends to stay in motion unless it is acted upon by another object or force. Since there were no objects or force capable of slowing the material, it should still be in motion.
Hydrogen atoms repel other hydrogen atoms. That means they can't collect and eventually form stars. Yet scientists believe hydrogen atoms can do the impossible and form stars. Scientists counter this argument with the belief that hydrogen immediately after the theoretical explosion had no charge and could collect with other hydrogen atoms. But that doesn't explain their belief how stars could still be forming since hydrogen atoms repel other hydrogen atoms.
The earth, according to scientists, was hot and unsuitable for life in the beginning. The conditions present when amino acids formed were too harsh to keep them together much less form living organisms. So according to scientific laws, life should be impossible to form on earth.
The complexity of the human genome makes our existence being more a matter of chance than creation by God a near impossibility. Since organisms tend to be as simple as possible and entropy prohibits increased complexity in most cases, the diversity of life on earth is a near impossibility. The chances of certain species having specific traits like the ability to use acid to kill prey or change color to blend into surroundings are next to impossible. I see a designer involved in the creation of man and all life on earth.
If a child is left to itself, it will steal, lie, and do socially unacceptable actions. I believe morals come from God because species that rely on instinct instead of morality do things that would get them arrested if they were humans. If a man rapes a woman, he is arrested. If a dog "rapes" another dog, often a hose is turned onto the pair and nothing more. If a man kills a man, it is called murder. If a big cat kills another big cat, it is called nature. If man is just a higher form of animal and animals don't have morals, why do humans have morality? It makes no logical sense. Yet we have laws that are expected to be followed. We are even taught it is wrong to take things even if we need them to survive while animals are expected to do such a thing. That makes no sense unless God is involved in creating morality.
The Big Bang would indicate that the universe and everything in it is accidental. With the existence of God as the explanation for the universe and everything in it, there is a purpose for everything. So you have to ask yourself, are you here by accident or on purpose? If you believe you are an accident, then it would have been acceptable if your mother had decided to abort you. If you believe in God and his purpose for your creation, then life is more precious and you have reasons to be here.
