Hmm... string theory is not truly a theory. Not yet, anyway.
The Big Bang is better put "in the beginning there was a singularity, which expanded. Then inflated". We do not know where it came from, since by definition a singularity is going to destroy all information that has entered it, but it is what the evidence points to, and the best conclusion that can currently be drawn from it. But no one has ever suggested that this is the end of it, which is more than can be said of creationism. The amount of time and effort put into improving our understanding of it or a scientific alternative is astonishing. In fact, we do know far more about it than can possibly be expressed in laymen's terms.
And that is a big problem. Without sufficient education, indeed, often without a high enough IQ, many of the discoveries pertaining to this field of physics is hopelessly beyond the grasp of almost all of us, which is the biggest difficulty when it comes to public acceptance. People are going to be more receptive of something they do understand than of something they do not.
