I just replied to them. Here's what I wrote:

 

I'd like to comment on your declarations on the subject of evolution. Now, I'm not writing about the prize - I don't have a PhD on the subjet (yet). But even I can see that you are making a few mistakes.
For starter, you are mixing the Big Bang theory with evolution theory. Even if God created the universe, or if it had been created in another way some time ago, that wouldn't necessarily mean that life hadn't appeared thorough evolution. These phenomenons are completely unrelated. Cosmic evolution doesn't hve anything to do with biological evolution, and no scientist pretends that evolution as originally presented by Darwin (and later revised) created time, space, and matter. Nor did it organize galaxies and the solar systems.
You also claim to disprove evolution, one could simply prove that no animal has ever been observed changing into any fundamentally different kind of animal. Need I remind you that recorded history has existed for merely a few thousands years? Whether evolution is real or not, nobody could have witnessed such transformations. But the fossil records are good indication. As to life spontaneously arising from nonliving matter: While science currently assumes it happened, it is only assumed to have happened ONCE (at least) since the formation of the Earth. It could very well be such a rare event that the odds of it happening anywhere in the universe are about once per billion of years; it would be irrealistic to hope to witness such an event ourselves.
It wouldn't disprove evolution either to prove that matter can't make itself out of nothing. As soon as the matter was there - no matter what brought it there in the first place, be it a natural phenomenon or a supernatural one - as soon as it was there, evolution was possible.
Presently, I see no logical reason to assume that a supernatural event was behind the formation of life. Until it is proven that it couldn't happen naturally, I'll assume that it has a logical explanation - which means I'll rely on science to know what happened. And so far, evolution theory seems like an explanation that makes sense to me.
I hope a proof - of a theory or of another - will soon be found in this domain.
My best regards, and good luck discovering what really happened.
