Actually Havoc i think what you're doing there once again is putting your opinions as facts.
How many Christians do you know who believe in Big Bang theory? I know quite a lot, they believe that God caused it through whatever means. Thus fusing science and religion.
Now I know it's cool to be a religion basher on the internet, but come on...

Not really. I'm either giving facts or I'm giving opinions, I never mix the two. I'm very careful about that, mind you. What I meant was this:
Religion is by definition the absence of science. It's the belief, blind belief, in something you hope is there but can't be totally sure off. No matter how you twist or turn it, no single belief system out there is based on facts, otherwise it wouldn't be religion anymore.
Science on the other hand is the total opposite. Science never assumes something without direct or indirect proof being there to support the theory.
Now if science comes up with the theory of the big bang, science has done it's research and concluded that the big bang is a possible scenario because many other things seem to be pointing roughly in that direction. Science is not sure, but it's a possibility given what they know. Now if religion comes along and hops on science's back and starts shouting 'our god did that! Yup! Isn't he great?!' then that's a little annoying, don't you think? I mean, it's high school 101. Instead of coming up with something of our own for a term paper, we grab something from the internet someone else already put all their hard effort in and proclaim like we did it ourselfs. It's a very loose comparison, I know, but you get the point.
Even if science one day can proof with facts that the big bang is how it all started, religion will simply go "ah yes, but without our god there wouldn't be a big bang". They don't have proof of this, they just assume it because they have been taught this their entire life. And if thats what you want to think then fine, but never should this kind of thinking be taught in science class because the two things directly contradict each other.
Think about this. If you teach creationism in a school, what you're basically telling the kids is: It doesn't matter if you have proof or not, as long as you believe it's true.
What if one of those kids grows up to be a homicide detective?
