I saw a John Ankerberg (sp) show about how the big bang really is proof of God creating the world. Secular scientists call it a transcendent, creating power. Basically, it shows the creation backward, moving back in time to the beginning, talks about why there could have been nothing and then something. It was interesting, but I take everything from his program with a grain of salt. It would be interesting to see if secular media would televise something like this.

I was somewhat of an astronomy buff in my teens and I'm still interested in it. I've always believed that another way to describe the Big Bang is "Let There Be Light!"
As the Catholic Church teaches us, science is part of God's revelation and when all of the parts of revelation are combined and properly understood, they cannot contradict each other.

Few are taught in school that Fr. Georges Lemaitre, Catholic priest and mathematical physicist, developed what became known as the Big Bang--the theory of an expanding universe which had a beginning.
http://www.catholiceducation.org/articles/science/sc0022.html
Fr. Lemaitre follows in a distinguished line of priest-scientists that include names such as Fr. Nicolai Copernicus, the astronomer who first published the heliocentric solar system, Fr. Grimaldi, discoverer of diffraction of light, Abbot Mendel, the father of modern genetics, Bishop Stenson, father of the field of geology and many, many more eminent scientists.
