BIOLOGY:
If you've ever taken a biology class, traits like 6 fingers have a chance of being passed down. At the least it's 1/4 (if I recall correctly), it could be more if the trait turns out to be dominant. Mutations like that are common among humans, people being born with tails or multiple heads and what not. No reason this couldn't fuel evolution.
However, if six fingers was recessive, they would have to have two genes of six fingers in order for it to exist, right? So if two parents both have six fingers, there's 100% probability their children will have six fingers, or am I missing something?
Shouldn't there be a sub classes of humans? Or, are you going to say those are called 'races'. Beyond basic looks, how come there isn't no 'race' with six fingers?

THE SUN:
About the Sun... the Sun is a big,

ing sphere. To say that it is losing 4 feet a year or whatever your insane false statistic was is madness. Even if that were true, it's a flucking sphere. If it's burning (which like Clokr_ said, is not entirely accurate) the same amount of fuel all the time then it would have been decreasing in size MUCH slower before, because, once again, it's a SPHERE...
Uh? Not understandable, at least, by me.

THE BIG BANG:
The most probable version of the theory is that the universe was a single point, which then exploded out into the Universe it is now. At some point the outward moving would slow down, and then the Universe would contract back into a single point again. Just a funny little note, that supposed point apparently has something like 10 or 12 dimensions.
Funny note is, everyone seems to have their own version of this big bang theory with a different number of dimensions.

THE UNIVERSE:
As for the Universe... it's really, really big. So big that it's possible there is another world exactly like this one where the only difference is that my name is Bob. And there could be googleplexes of these worlds with tiny little differences. Assuming that our observations about the Universe around us are accurate, which I will assume they are, then if there is a God, he doesn't even know we're here. And he probably doesn't care.
Ever watch the movie 'The One'. It sounds somewhat like what you are talking about. However, all these worlds aren't contained in the same universe, but rather, different parallel universes.
As for God, if he did exist, he would certainly know we are here because he is all-knowing. He wouldn't have screwed up his creation to have it accidently make parallel universes.

EVOLUTION:
The theory of Evolution is a quite a hollow theory. Assuming there is no God and that the universe simply is, then what does that mean for us? It means that we're just chemicals reacting. Nothing is random in this case. The universe could only happen one possible way.
Nothing is random? That's not possible according to evolution, which is purely based upon randomness.

AN INTERESTING PERSPECTIVE:
Also, there was this interesting theory that every single time a quantum event occurs, two possible universes are created. Which, if this is true, as they thought it was the last time I checked, it makes you wonder, which Universe does your conciousness follow? And is everyone else following this same path? or are you truly only and the only "real" versions of other people are in some other path. Interesting I think.
Is this why we get deja vu? O.o Deja vu is a very interesting thing in of itself. Some american(?) woman supposedly went to france(?) and had such a feeling and then knew her way around the country like it was her hometown, when she never has been therebefore. I get such feelings where I know what's going to happen next, like, it all happened somehow before. Kinda makes me think...
None the less, if time travel WAS possible, how does one go back in time?
I know nothing about atomic clocks, but what if, the sheer speed just made them mess up their time? Couldn't THAT be possible? Something to do with gravitational fields and forces when more speed is achieved?
