Yes.
Science is how it works, religion is why it works. They aren't even asking the same questions, so the answers aren't at all opposed.

Believing in the "big bang" takes as much faith, because all science has is theories, they are still trying to figure out how gravity works (we know IT DOES but they have yet to explain why it does the way it does). Einstein is recognized as one of those who understood the universe the best, and he believed in God. Even trying to explain the mechanism of "how" it happened, they have no explanatiuon of "why". Here is one, that when the universe spreads out to the max, it recoils by consildating black holes until it all gets sucked in together like a recoil, and then it goes "bang" again. But why? Whats the point in life if everything eventually is destroyed? Maybe it's just to live a good life and be good people?

I believe in Science because they have found out a lot of stuff we would never had known with out it. Also I believe and god we had to come from some where. The religion part is what people believe in so lots of people had made me ran with that kind of stuff. People go to far on the stuff they believe in and they now have to take meds that is what happen to my mother in law.

About the Big Bang...
"If I had no other data than the early chapters of Genesis, some of the Psalms and other passages of Scripture, I would have arrived at essentially the same picture of the origin of the universe, as is indicated by the scientific data." Nobel Prize-winning physicist Arno Penzias (Big Bang Theorist)
Science and the creation of life.
"The principle of [divine] purpose ... stares the biologist in the face wherever he looks ... . The probability for such an event as the origin of DNA molecules to have occurred by sheer chance is just too small to be seriously considered ... ."Ernst Boris Chain - Nobel Prize in medicine
Physics
"So many of my colleagues are Christians that I can't walk across my church's fellowship hall without tripping over a dozen physicists."
--William D. Phillips (1948- ), awarded the 1997 Nobel Prize in physics for using lasers to produce temperatures only a fraction of a degree above absolute zero.
"There is no incompatibility between science and religion... Science shows that God exists." - Prof. D. Barton, Nobel Prize Chemistry
It seems that the perception that there has to be a separation of the two exists. In the end God is to be loved and believed in by following the son he sent to die for our sins, Jesus!
"Christ died for men precisely because men are not worth dying for; to make them worth it." - C.S. Lewis
"If the solar system was brought about by an accidental collision, then the appearance of organic life on this planet was also an accident, and the whole evolution of Man was an accident too. If so, then all our present thoughts are mere accidents - the accidental by-product of the movement of atoms. And this holds for the thoughts of the materialists and astronomers as well as for anyone else's. But if their thoughts - i.e., of Materialism and Astronomy - are merely accidental by-products, why should we believe them to be true? I see no reason for believing that one accident should be able to give me a correct account of all the other accidents. It's like expecting that the accidental shape taken by the splash when you upset a milk-jug should give you a correct account of how the jug was made and why it was upset." C.S. Lewis
Fraud in science like Haekel's embryo images that were put in science books for decades after it was known that he faked them put science on much more iffy ground though!

Both -because if you believe in one God who is the creator of All Things in the universe, then just like God created human being, He also created "Big Bang". Of course how a " Big Bang" integrates into the nature of His Being, that's a completely different question.

Since there is no documentation or proof , it's up to each person to believe in their hearts. Did God make the Big Bang?

Well, science is based on hypothesis - searching for facts and testing them for accuracy. Changing the laws when new facts are discovered.
Religion seems to be an unchanging dogmatic jumble of information to which no one agrees, but degrees to be true beyond question.
Take your pick.

Science is right about the BIG BANG. and God was responsible for the BIG BANG =]

I study science and I enjoy reading tales and legends. I do prefer the recent ones than the ancient middle eastern ones.

Both, but there is more religion than one that believes in God. Mine doesn't quite. You needn't be so inflexible to only see one way.
