I fairly often run across fundamentalist types railing at the Big Bang Theory. (The theory, not the TV show, though they probably rail at it, too.)
Will never, ever understand this. Genesis 1:1 is merely a restatement of BBT. And providing a cause, which is missing from the theory.

Interestingly enough, it was the “Big Bang Theory” or it’s supposed confirmation that rallied many Christians and their Apologetics.
But there was a problem.
Time.
Many Christians are divided on the issue of the age of the earth and our universe. Many found the BB a solution to the question of “Something from Nothing”, and accepted the new found age of 13.? billion years as something that can be dealt with.
IMHO, it can’t be dealt with.
More recently there have been an increasing number of questions that remain unresolved regarding the “Red-shift” etc.., questions that seem to validate Fred Hoyles “steady state” hypothesis.
I admit that to suggest a literal “In the beginning, was the Word”, “and the Word was God” lends itself to the Big bang as THE Creation event. It is very appealing and seems to satisfy some Creationist. But as our scientific knowledge expands we/they are creating more questions than answers.
I agree.
