None of what you said is supportive of miracles happening and certainly not of a potential higher power being defined as it is in any religious text. Much of your questions on the big bag and life "spawning" have been answered. You can start with google. It is just too convenient to believe in a biblical God... if the chances of "spawning" life are already so little, then what are the chances that spawned life has any authority to define God as the bearded Guy in the clouds full of human characteristics and capable of creating demons and angels... sorry
I grew up in a very religious household with a strict focus on bible study. That doesn't change the fact that it is still just a bunch of old story books written by man. Out of all of them, Quran is slightly more believable, even though again it is was inspired by someone hallucinating in the desert. To me it was always clear these authors had no clue about biology, the planet or universe back then, and it shows plainly in the scriptures. There is too much contradiction, vagueness, and it is filled with "just believe in it" assumptions. Infantile and provocative style aside, Religulous does a great job of explaining religion. If you want a serious and scientific take though, read Sapiens, which debunks any religious interpretation of God without even trying.
Your post is filled with statements of blind faith. The best example is that the scientific origin for the universe is incompatible with life but we should just ignore science and simply google it because it happened, somehow. Hint, there is nothing on google to refute that scientific reality.
The letters in the Gospels are a good place to research the historicity of the Bible: archeology and the histories of various countries are consistent and enlightening. Bearded guys, indeed.
The Quran? Written over 6 centuries after Christ, who tells us who he is throughout the New Testament in unambiguous language but Mahomet(and you) are better able to set him straight on his identity. That assertions reveals a heart that needs to do some research in order to heal.
Making this Bible v. Quran has nothing do with whether the Virgin Mary's blood came out of a treadmill. Let's focus on that.
