1) Persons under the age of 13 are not allowed on Y!A
2) The Big Bang is the best working model for the formation of the universe. Does that mean it really happened? No one can prove that. No one was there. But the mechanics behind it make sense. You do not have to give up faith in God to believe in the Big Bang. You just cannot take the Bible literally. And it is not wise, nor does it make sense to do so, as it was written by fallible men that had little knowledge of the way the planet worked..
God allowed man to developed sense and intellect to USE them, not to blindly follow dogma.

Many people believe in the big bang theory. The universe is expanding, and if you run the clock backwards it seems that everything came from an infinitely small volume of space. Other evidence abounds. We can see the afterglow of the heat from the big bang. It's called the cosmic microwave background radiation and seems to be coming from all directions. The most abundant elements in the universe, hydrogen and helium, are also the two most simple elements, which would be exactly what the big bang theory predicts would be what the universe is most made of. The universe has a well defined age, and you can't find anything older then the universe. Light travels at a finite speed (the speed of light) and so the further away we look, the further back in time we see since light takes time to travel from one place to the next. If we look far enough away, we can look further back in time, and the further back in time we look, the earlier we see the universe. We see things like that heavier elements (like what makes up our solar system) become rarer and rarer the further back in time we look. This is because heavy elements are created inside stars, and at the time of the big bang, there wasn't any stars to make heavy elements so the universe was filled only with simple ones like hydrogen and helium. This we can actually see! which is really cool I think.

Science and the Bible don't mix. Just as Church and State are separated. One is about Truth and the other is about Belief. I am a Catholic too and believed that God created Man and the entire universe in 6 days. Then again school teaches us the evolution of Man from the Darwinian Theory. Its up to you to ask yourself whats more important to you? The Truth? Or your Faith?

The big bang is just a theory about how the universe began and has nothing to do with anything real. Its just a model that lots of people like to believe in.

I heard that that is how the Earth got created. I heard it was a just a littly tiny..... something like small and then an astorid or something hit into it and made "The Big Bang" and created the Earth somehow.
