The big bang theory starts with the notion of a cosmic explosion that caused matter to be hurled in all directions.

The original proposal for the "Big Bang", before Hubble, was by a religious astronomer who was seeking a way to scientifically detect God.

Which is the same thing that IDers are doing.

I'm just amazed that it's the religious folks who now reject the Big Bang, when they could as easily point to it and say "there is the evidence of God".

Yeah, that sort of baffles me as well; somehow thinking Big Bang Theory is part of Evolution is weird enough (though considering that Creationists routinely think evolution is a theory of the origin of life from non-life, which it is not, it's not that weird) but I don't quite get the religious hostility to the Big Bang; I mean, the alternative theory was a steady-state Universe which is even further from Genesis.
