The Big Bang theory, which has been backed up by observations, and has shown to be a very good description on a possible beginning to the universe. However, as every scientific theory, it is not necessarily the final truth, as even a fact is only seen to be true under the current data and information.
Now, the beginning of the universe as described in theories like the Big Bang depict not only the size of the universe expanding, or just matter coming into state, but the actual space-time dimensions coming into being. Previous to the Big Bang, the universe that we live in was not. Thus, there would have to be SOMETHING/SOMEONE(!) to cause the beginning of our universe... and if we choose to answer that it was an event in another universe, then where did that universe come from?
The thing is, we are limited to explaining phenomena by CURRENT observations, we cannot explain the beginning of our universe because it would require us to observe the past, and even more insanely, observe before our universe. Possible? No!
Also, I don't believe that any scientific theory excludes a deity, they simply provide another explanation that allows us to do something different/ly.

True or false, all scientific theories disregard the possible existence of a deity.

At the begining of the bible it comes to say that god created the heavens and the earth, which could be related to the first wave of energy from this adam(sp?). It then goes on to say "And God proseeded to say: 'Let light come to be.'" This goes right along with the theory of the big bang.
It should be noted that I am quoting Genesis 1 from the 1984 edition of the "New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures," which is the Jehovah's Witness translation of the bible, but it's really all the same book no matter how you look at it.

Absolutely not! There's no reason why the Big Bang couldn't have happened as a result of a certain Someone saying "let there be light".
I personally do not believe this to be the case, but it could be.

What is truly funny is that the "Big Bang" theory was first proposed by a Catholic priest. The name "Big Bang" was a derisive name given to it by scientist who opposed it on the grounds that it smacked of creation by a deity.

Though I don't believe in any God, I don't believe that the Big Bang immediately destroys the idea of a God. It just restricts the power of one to creating the Big Bang and then leaving (a concept known as Deism)

Not at all. Only young Earth creationists have a problem with the Big Bang. Old Earth Creationists and Theistic Evolutionists (I hate that term) embrace it.
In fact, a Catholic priest was the originator of the idea!

I do believe that yeah the deity could have created the big abnd. But then the Big Band would not be compatible with creationnism and htose kind of fairytales.

I am an athiest an I believe that it does not disregard the thought of a deity in the eyes of a christian, but I know the truth and know that there is no one god that we are our own individual gods connected through everything.
May science be with you. LOGIC/

No but it leaves alot to be desired in terms of the Biblical answer to creation. In other words, the big bang BLASTS the bible into the science fiction category of the library.
