The Big Bang Theory was developed by a priest
Just saying lol. Point taken though. I think the Big Bang is more accepted by the religious community because it "fits" better with their side of things than evolution does. Evolution completely contradicts religion in many aspects. There are some people who believe that both can coincide, but honestly I think that is just a way of trying to contort the evidence to fit what you want it to fit.
Which is exactly what my problem is with religious people. Instead of looking at the facts and then drawing conclusions, they first come up with their conclusion, and then try to make the facts fit with their story. The facts that don't fit are rejected. It's basically breaking the fundamental rules of good science.
