Father Georges Lematrie, Catholic Priest,  proposed the big bang  theory as a 
part of his vision of creationism. He was also an Einstein expert  and 
developed the precursor to Hubbles laws. It always amazes me when people  
throw up 
the Big Bang theory as the alternative they believe to creationism (not  that 
I 
think you are doing so Don) Christians for the most part don't believe  that 
God plants every little tree or shrub and has a hands on approach to daily  
life. If man is guided in his every decision, then there can be no sin, as  
freedom of choice is required. If there is no sin, then there can be no  
recriminations for it, no hell etc etc. Nope, even a Christian would believe  
that 
little tree grew in that spot on it's own.

Not believing is a god  does not mean ones believes in nothing.  With out a
mythological being  mucking things up, you are free to see the wonder of the
universe and its  random events.  

Take the big bang theory.  What happens in  the first few nanoseconds if the
gravitational constant is too low?   Everything flies out in the topology of
space and time to recollect and try  again.  What if the constant is too
high, now nothing really gets  moving and it all collapses to start over
again.  Then it is a more  reasonable figure but other variables are unable
to assist the  formation.  How many times does it take to make it right?   How
many times is it right but very different than the version we have  now?

It is a wonder that can be carried on and on.  We like this  green earth that
we evolved into as it evolved.  But what sort of home  does the flying
spaghetti monster prefer?

There is a tree not far  from where I am sitting now.  It is growing on what
appears to be rock  shelf with a few inches of dirt.  To think a god had to
put that tree  there reduces the wonder of the trees own evolution, its
ability to sprout  then shove roots down cracks.

The universe is a wonder and to think a  god had to build it takes it to the
level of a Southern California strip  mall.
