I thought it was the whole creation story, but just recently I heard about this whole thing around the Noah's ark story about no rain on earth until the flood, just this mist, and a dome of water covering the earth.
Evolution, big bang? There's a lot I don't know just yet. What I do know makes sense to me.

The hardest part for Christianity is the whole Genesis God thing because it not only makes no sense but it contradicts its self.
For the big bang cosmology the problem I have is the idea of something out of nothing even though it can be proved, demonstrated and measured. I have deep and serious problems trying to wrap my brain around the whole quantum mechanical view of the world. But hey, I normally think of the Sun as rising in the East and travelling across the sky to set in the west, even though I know that the Earth is a big spinning ball falling through space.

I simply cannot believe that Adam and Eve were the only people on earth when they were created. If they were created! I am not a fan of the bible, or any religious book for that matter.
In evolution/big bang. It is impossible not to believe the evidence that we can see and touch. As far as the big bang, what if God was the big bang and then evolution took over? Just a thought. I do think that there is a God.

For Christianity that an all knowing all powerful being has existed forever in the same state.
For big bang - much more comprehensible - still kind of weird that all the energy in the universe compressed and then exploded. Where was the energy before?
For evolution totally comprehensible and completely logical and understandable.

The hardest part for me is how Christians ready-mix the teachings of Jesus with Jewish theology; and then on top of it, make the Jewish apologetics of Paul equal in weight to the teachings of Jesus.
Truth be told: If all you do is read the words of Jesus from the New Testament, (the ones in red), Jesus sounds like a Jodo Shinshu Buddhist to me!

Christianity--Sometimes it's difficult to understand why God's answers aren't more black and white, you know, easier to understand. Why do we need faith to believe? Why doesn't God prove his existence and then give us the choice of whether or not to follow him?
Evolution/Big Bang-- From where or what did everything originate? It had to come from somewhere. It doesn't seem that it could have just existed.

Caint we awl jes' git alawng?
Why can't we believe all of it? God said 'Let there be light', and BANG! There was light. And God created the heavens and the earth by His fingerwork, but the work of salvation was the work of His Arm.

The idea that there is omnipotent God that created and controls everything in the universe.
