Any person with just a little horse sense can rightly discern the poor theory of evolution within the first sentence, "first there was nothing and then it exploded". Also the discovery of DNA made many single cell evolution theorists huntin for a new theory.

"Any person with just a little horse sense can rightly discern the poor theory of evolution within the first sentence, "first there was nothing and then it exploded"."
Anyone as bright as a horse realizes "first there was nothing and then it exploded" is not part of the ToE.
"Also the discovery of DNA made many single cell evolution theorists huntin for a new theory."
No, the discovery of DNA bolsters the ToE by furthering the understanding of the mechanics of genetics. Explaining your stupidity and willful ignorance, that takes a new theory.
"first there was nothing and then it exploded"
And that's the first sentence of what? Your church's favorite anti-evolution tract?
The big-bang and evolutions are two horses of a different color, so you have demonstrated that you have no sense at all, horse, common or otherwise.
Well, in the first place, you are confusing the TOE with the Big Bang Theory. And the Big Bang Theory doesn't say "first there was nothing," it says "first there was a singularity, but the exact nature and origin of that singularity is at present unknown. We will get back to you after we have studied it a lot more."
Get your theories straight.
IIRC, 'In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded' is a Terry Pratchett quote, intended as humour. A concept that always passes fundies by.
"When on board HMS Beagle, as naturalist, I was much struck with certain facts in the distribution of the inhabitants of South America, and in the geological relations of the present to the past inhabitants of that continent."
First sentence of "On the Origin of Species..."
I don't get "there was nothing and it exploded" from that at all.
Well the big bang is not evolution, but even if it was, nothing can become something.
The state of "Nothing" is an unstable state and often degrades into something through the creation of virtual particles. Although, you're an idiot so I shouldn't expect you to understand quantum mechanics and super symmetry.
Fun fact: There is good reason to believe that the net energy in the Universe is zero. Take that God hypothesis!
So how is that any more far fetched than a bored deity in a separate existence (As there was no "existence" here yet) looked at a void, decided he had nothing better to do, and waved all creation into being?
That's not evolution, that's a bad strawman of the big bang theory.
The discovery of DNA and the genetic basis of inheritance provides Aurthur evidence of evolution.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
