Creation vs Evolution

A combination of the two is most likely the answer. Let me try to explain what I mean...
If an action calls for a reaction than reaction needs an action as well. In this case: if the Big Bang was the beginning than what caused it. It couldn't have happened by itself (is the chicken really older than an egg?). There had to have been an action that had created this reaction. The Big Bang had to have been preceded by something else (creation). And all the subsequent phases in the development of the universe, solar system, earth, living creatures were nothing but adaptations and reactions to the existing conditions (evolution). Therefore some form of initial force (creation) was needed in the beginning, and was rudimentary, giving only rough guidelines to the development (evolution) which is suppose to continue and arrive at the purpose point.
Consequently, we arrive at the question weather the action (creation) was an accident or was it done with some particular purpose. The answer might lie in the existence and interpretation of our genetic code. The shear presence of the code in all of the living creatures warrants the coexistence of both creation (someone had to have programmed it) and evolution (the main purpose of the code is to guide the evolutionary development). Just the existence itself (I think therefore I am) leads one to believe of the purpose behind creation, but once we are able to fully encode our genes we might be able to answer this question.
Now, given the fact that I believe what I just mentioned, I need to know who is playing with us and what kind of game are we all involved in? If anybody is playing any games.
I don't think life would be as interesting if we knew all the answers, but being that we are curious creatures, the quest continues.
