Describe the big bang theory and the red shift evidence that supports this theory?

The red shift is a Doppler effect which showed that almost all galaxies are moving away from us (or us from them), and that the farther away a galaxy is the faster it is moving.
Logically, if you "move" backwards in time (a thought experiment only) then it fits that the entire universe occupied a smaller space in the past. By calculation; at about 13.7 billion years ago it occupied only a tiny volume (of space) which must have been very hot and very energetic. The "big bang" (which must have been very small and quite silent) is just a descriptive term.
Or the red shift is due to light escaping from a large star...

HOW DOES THESE FORMS OF EVIDENCE SUPPORT THE THOERY RED SHIFT and EXISTENCE?
It isn't clear what forms of evidence you are talking about. Also, redshift is not a theory; it's an observational fact. The THEORY (actually, the only reasonable explanation) for redshift on large scales is that it is due to the expansion of the Universe.
How is the red shift evidence for the big bang theory?
Briefly, redshift shows that most objects move away from us; this means that the Universe is expanding.
How does red-shift support the steady state theory?
Red shift does not support the steady state theory.
How does red shift support the steady state theory?
Red shift supports the steady state theory in that the red shift indicates the Continuity Condition. Steady State means Conservation of Energy and does not require an expanding universe. It is the misunderstanding of red shift that adds the requirement of an expanding universe and the need for continuous creation.Hubble saw red shift as a "hitherto unrecognized principle of nature", not an expansion of the universe. less prudent physicists have misunderstood red shift. Red shift is an indicator of "continuity condition" and the result of centrifugal force balancing gravitational centripetal force.Steady State is the proper term for Conservation of Energy or Homeostasis, which seems to characterize the universe. "Steady State Theory" without expansion is well supported by red shift.The proper Theory of Gravity, E = -mu/r + mcV, accounts for 'dark Energy and red shift" and a finite universe.
How does red shift support the theory of the evolution of the universe?
The light spectrum can be viewed as a slinky. When compressed, the light waves change to the blue end of the spectrum. When stretched, the the light changes to the red end of the spectrum. Physicists know that our universe is expanding because galaxies further away change to the red end of the spectrum. This means the galaxies were once closer together in the past than what they are now. This is one of the many pieces of evidence that supports the Big Bang Theory.
How might the redshift indicate there is evidence for the big bang theory?
The red shift doesn't just indicate that there is evidence for the Big Bang theory: the Hubble red shift is evidence supporting the Big Bang theory.
What evidence do astronomers have that supports the idea that the galaxies are moving away from us?
Observations through telescopes, red shift and several other recordings proves this.
What evidence was used to develop the big bang theory?
The red shift and the cosmic microwave background radiation was the evidence used to develop the big bang theory.
Which best describe the beginning big bang theory?
massive energy created matterTo get to the theory ... the red shift (and Hubble).If you're referring to how the big bang began, science has no answer.

What word supports the theory that the universe is expanding?
Theories explain evidence. There is considerable evidence our universe is expanding. The primary evidence is the red shift of the light from distant galaxies. The further a galaxy is from our local group, the more the light is shifted towards the infrared end of the spectrum. The theory of General Relativity also predicts our universe should be expanding.

Is the red-shift responsible for the big bang theory?
No, it's the other way round. The Big Bang is responsible for the redshift.

Are there any weaknesses or gaps in the Big Bang Theory that are being considered?
The big bang is based solely on the cosmological red shift, whereby the light from distant stars has lost energy, is assumed to be a Doppler red shift. However there is no direct evidence that that kind of a shift is actually what happens. There are also several "tired light" hypotheses.
