Actually, i have really only made one assumption, and it is based on a mathematical certainy . And about the big bang, i believe that such and event leading up to the universe as we see it today is incredibly improbable. maybe even 1 out of infinity?

Yes, the mathematical certainty that any astrophysicist would likely dispute.
I hate to appear dogmatic, but the big bang almost certainly did happen. So did evolution. It may seem like an unlikely scenario without looking at the evidence. Luckily the evidence is publicly available and I encourage you to take a closer look.
I think the whole idea is that the density of this singularity is infintely increasing because the size of the particle is decreasing while not releasing any matter - therefore getting infinitely dense. If you were to say at one particular point in time though how dense this particle was then it may fall onto a real huge number. Perhaps quadz can correct me (someone who actually researched in great detail this sort of thing).I think we must also consider the concept of such "common sense" laws actually breaking down during the singularity. This has shown to be possible in fields such as quantum physics and relativity theory.
I have seen much evidence on the big bang. I have also seen more evidence and studied more on evolution than one needs to. I am simply skeptical of humans evolving from the earliest of monkeys.

It's just shortsightedness combined with a total lack of hindsight and a barrier called "faith" that blocks out all incoming information that doesn't entirely agree with the aforementioned views by declaring it irrelevant or inapplicable..
