Of coarse not. We were given intelligence and an inquisitive nature. What could be wrong in using these traits to try and understand God's creation?

We are only faint images of God, barely revealing his characteristics. Its not bad to your intellect to try to understand Creation, but some things are better left without understanding all the scientific principles. For instance I like music the way it is, knowing how the sound waves form the music I hear just seems to make music dull. But of course that is merely a perspective and you might be entirely different. Do what your heart tells you, you don't need the approval of other people to do things you want to do.

Not at all. God gave you a brain. You ought to use it.
Some people study the work of an artist, musician or an architect and appreciate the skill and talent of that person. Studying the universe and trying to figure out its workings can make someone appreciate the qualities of the Creator.

couldn't the big bang have been how god created the universe. What was before the big bang? How come in physics we can't prove the most explaining theories ie: String theory, Einsteins attempt to bring theories of gravity electromagnetism and together. they thought this would answer everything and we could predict everything all it's done is raise more questions. even Einstein said, God doesn't roll dice with the universe, is this what was missing in his theory.

Astrophysicist Stephen Hawking claimed in his book that Pope John Paul advised him not to inquire into the Big Bang because that was the work of God. Interesting point of view but I don't think many scientists would agree.

no,
being created in God's image has do do with the principle qualities of God's personality. Namely, love, power, wisdom, and justice.
as far as these type of questions go, usually the person posing them has not even remotely investigated the Bible and whether or not there might be truth to be found there.
My question to you is, have you used your intellect to test the bible from cover to cover?

Job 38
31 Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?
32 Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?
33 Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?
34 Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee?
35 Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go and say unto thee, Here we are?
36 Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given understanding to the heart?
If you can answer the questions in the last verse honestly then you'll have the answer to your questions.

It is not wrong to speculate and to INVESTIGATE the subject. but it is very wrong to blindly believe second hand opinions one can not prove, and it is even worse to impose those ipinions to others.

Of course. But the creation story is anti-intellectual and cannot be arrived at by reason or scientific invertigation.
