The oldest homo sapien we have is Lucy, and you can see the similarities between her and us, and 500 years ago the average height was four foot something, I won't deny change in species over time, but I'm not believing that we were originally fish or something ridiculous like that.
I should not have to explain why I don't believe in the big bang theory, but I'll put it into simple terms: when you add nothing to nothing, the outcome is still nothing.

Lucy was NOT a homo sapien, dear god no. Lucy is 4.1 million years old!!!! She belongs to a species called Australopithecus afarensis, which are an ancestor of homo sapien. Why her discovery was so exciting is because she was the link between Australopithecus and another species, Ardipithecus ramidus. And she is certainly not the oldest human ancestor fossil we've found. You need to learn a bit more about anthropology before you can bring it up in a debate. And evolution was a process that took MILLIONS of years! Thats an insanely long time, of course dramatic changes are going to take place in such a very very long time, from the primordial soup of young earth to multicellular organisms to plants to fish to lizards to mammals to humans.
