Nope, the Big Bang makes sense to me.
Then, of course, there is the viewpoint I read recently that suggested that
science invented the Big Bang so as to rationalize the burgeoning evidence
for the existence of God..... :) .....which is a rather silly way of
putting the actually serious point that a great many of us not only do not
find the Big Bang inconsistent with religion, but indeed, find the Big Bang
to be exactly the sort of thing our belief in God would predict to exist.
