Let’s go over this again. Just because the creationists say that believing in evolution leads to holding black people in zoo cages, does not mean that is an argument against the facts of evolution. It is simply a statement about how bigoted people will manipulate anything to harm the people they hate.

Evolution is the name we gave the process that causes diversity in life. That’s it. The Big Bang is totally separate, the beginning of life is another thing completely, and the theory of evolution is simply our best understanding of the evidence of evolution. There’s nothing to believe in, it just is. Can some of it be wrong? Sure. But that just means there is a better explanation coming with new evidence. It does not mean the creation story is suddenly right if a tiny aspect of the theory of evolution is found to be in error. There’s nothing at all that supports the creationist story. The Bible is the claim not the evidence, btw.
