[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While our understanding of the Big Bang is not complete, and likely will never be, it is pretty certain that it did happen 13.8 billion years ago, which led to the beginning of both space and time. All evidence supports this.  We of course don't know how or why it happened, or what existed at the moment of the Big Bang or before it -- we only know what happened after it.  I don't mean to begin an argument about the Big Bang; however, provided that religious people here assume/believe it did happen, I am curious as to how believers square the Big Bang with their belief systems.  More generally, I am curious to know what major religions say about the Big Bang.  [/quote]

Major religions, which started before modern science, don't say anything about the big bang or any other scientific concepts.  However, many religious denominations have come to accept modern scientific concepts and as noted, some religious people were scientists themselves.  In the old days, clergy were among the only educated people there were, so some were scientists.[/quote]
