I find that things like the Big Bang are not only contradictory to scripture

I could not disagree more. "In the beginning God created..." Before the Big Bang theory scientists believed in an eternal universe. Big Bang theory says there was a singular beginning to space and time which is absolutely in line with scripture. Atheists were very much against the theory untill the evidence became overwhelming.

I really don't understand fellow Christians having a problem with what may be the single most important physical evidence pointing to a Creator. The Big Bang is a problem for the atheist position.

That one point may agree with the bible, but there is more to the Big Bang than that.

I disagree with you about the acceptance of the Big Bang.
It has been my observation that the Big Bang has been widely accepted and taught in public schools for quite a long time and only recently has its lack of scientific merit caused some to question its validity.

As a Christian, my faith in God and His Word take precedent over everything else.
As a biblical literalist I find that the Big Bang as a Naturalistic explanation for Creation denies God the glory for his work as he describes it in his Word.

Scientifically speaking, the Big Bang is a problem for everyone.
