I'm no science geek so bare with me here and don't take these questions bad. I may be educationally bad but this is good stuff too.
So Micro to macro? Like single cell turning into a fish or something change thing?
Where did the singularity came from that created the Big Bang?

It's fine, scientists can be awful at making themselves clear to the general public.
We'll start with micro evolution:
Micro evolution is where a species becomes.. well, better. So think of it in this scenario, Farmer Bill's crops suffer every year from insects destroying it, so he buys a pesticide to lower the population so his crops survive better. But a few months down the line Bill finds the insect population rising again, what's happening here is that after many generations the insects start producing offspring that are becoming resistant to the pesticide, adapting to the environment to survive. We have many examples of Micro Evolution.
Macro evolution is a bit more complicated to grasp but is the same thinking as Micro evolution:
Macro evolution is basically one species becoming another, which means nothing without the proper definition of "Species" which is basically described as if 2 creatures can produce FERTILE offspring they are of the same species, for example Lions and Tigers can have offspring known as 'Ligers' look them up they look pretty awesome but these Ligers are infertile and cannot produce children.
So Macro evolution is pretty much lots and lots of Micro Evolution, until what you end up with is completely different than to what you started with, you can get a new population that cannot mate with the old population.
And no one knows where the singularity came from, so you can put a creator there if you want to, but no theory whether supernatural or not will not be accepted by the scientific community without actual evidence. Which I personally think is impossible as the big bang would've destroyed all evidence to what has happened before, for all we know the universe bangs outwards for a few billion years, and pulls itself back in and bangs out again eternally, destroying whatever evidence was left of the universe before it. We just don't and possible wont know. Unless we can create a machine that can simulate the entire universe and fast forward or rewind and see what happens.
