It is just equivalent to Religion and Science. Incompatible indeed. I would also say it irreconcilable. Religion is concerned with man's attitude toward nature at large with the establishing of ideals for the individual and communal life and with the mutual human relationship. These ideals religion attempts to attain by exerting an educational influence on tradition and through the development and promulgation of certain easily accessible thoughts and narratives (epics and myths) which are apt to influence evaluation and action along the lines of the accepted ideals.
Science on the other hand leads to methodical action if definitive goals are set up in advance. It produces knowledge and indirectly means of action.
Thanks for asking. Have a great day!

Lots of people believe in both and assume that God triggered the Big Bang in order to create space and time and the universe and life within it.

Not yet.
Neither is backed up with empirical facts. Before Science can come up with those facts, people want to fill the gap by beleiving in one or the other and also believing that believing in one excludes believing in the other.
When facts come up, they might be incompatible or otherwise.

I dont think so. I believe in both. How do we know God didnt make the Big Band happen?

And the follow-up question, "do the black holes and the impending collision of the Andromeda Galaxy with the Milky Way negate benevolent intent?"

Read John Polkinghorne for a perspective on how theology and science are not be necessity mutually opposed.

When Aristotle said "existence exists," he meant--and said--that it is NECESSARY that it exists and that therefore God is superfluous to "creation." But I guess if you believe in God you could say he took what already existed and "blew it up" into a trillion trillion pieces.
