Eridor, you have good logic in your theory about the Big Bang working perfectly. Remember, however, that if it didn't work perfectly, we wouldn't exist to know it. So the supposed "perfect chance" worked. There may be no supernatural being to make sure things happened the way they did. Maybe it all happened, by chance, just right. And, as I previously staed, we wouldn't know otherwise, because we wouldn't be here.
I believe in a combination of the two, however. My theory relates to no creation story of the Bible, but a more scientific viewpoint. Be prepared for a long explanation.
God created the first living beings, archaebacteria, which lived in the sea. These beings slowly grew in size and started meiosis (as a mutation) instead of mitosis, and slowly developed into marine animals, such as fish. The fish had gills, but, again, with another mutation, developed structures somewhat like lungs that could breathe air. These structures became more developed over time, and creatures that could breathe both in water and on land, like the lungfish, came in being. These creatures spent more time breathing air on land, and their gills slowly degenerated until they became like amphibians. The amphibians then somehow developed into reptiles, and one of the two developed into mammals. I have no explanation for a mutation such as that. After that, the ape came into being, and from there, man slowly evolved into what we are today. That is the one I believe in.
Another theory, with a the Bible as a backing argument, is that man was created right away, as a unique living being. Then, God created a woman, Eve. So, where were the females of the other species, which were created before the first woman? That doesn't make sense to me. I can argue the dinosaur question in this theory, though. A classmate of mine several years ago came up with an excellent possibility: dinosaurs were banned from the Garden of Eden. It wouldn't be hard to think of why, either.
If you were too lazy to read what I said, basically, I believe a supreme being did create us, but through a slow evolutionary process.
