Once you realize that the Bible does not purport to be a textbook of science, the old controversy between religion and science vanishes . . . The doctrine of the Trinity is much more abstruse than anything in relativity or quantum mechanics; but, being necessary for salvation, the doctrine is stated in the Bible. If the theory of relativity had also been necessary for salvation, it would have been revealed to Saint Paul or to Moses . . . As a matter of fact neither Saint Paul nor Moses had the slightest idea of relativity"...

The Big Bang Theory was developed as said by a Catholic Priest and Scientist as a way to scientifically prove Creation. The Big Bang is Creation. There was nothing and Bang the Universe was created, by God The Father. No contradictions. The Big Bang says nothing then Big blast when God said Let there be Light.
