Ironically, cosmologists actually resisted the "Big Bang Theory" for decades precisely because it seemed to point to God, compared to the "Steady State" theory of continuous creation that most cosmologists had previously accepted.
This is a different response from most, but let me point you to a man in scripture, the jailer in the city of Philippi:
...they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace to the authorities. Bringing them before the chief magistrates, they said, “These men are seriously disturbing our city. They are Jews and are promoting customs that are not legal for us as Romans to adopt or practice.”
Then the mob joined in the attack against them, and the chief magistrates stripped off their clothes and ordered them to be beaten with rods. After they had inflicted many blows on them, they threw them in jail, ordering the jailer to keep them securely guarded. Receiving such an order, he put them into the inner prison and secured their feet in the stocks.
About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the jail were shaken, and immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone’s chains came loose.
When the jailer woke up and saw the doors of the prison open, he drew his sword and was going to kill himself, since he thought the prisoners had escaped.
But Paul called out in a loud voice, “Don’t harm yourself, because all of us are here!”
Then the jailer called for lights, rushed in, and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas. Then he escorted them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
So they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.” Then they spoke the message of the Lord to him along with everyone in his house.
He took them the same hour of the night and washed their wounds. Right away he and all his family were baptized. He brought them into his house, set a meal before them, and rejoiced because he had believed God with his entire household. -- Acts 16
The city of Philippi was a Roman empire colony city, specifically a city that had been populated by Roman soldiers 80 years before Paul and Silas's visit. Because it was a Roman colony city, it operated under the emperor's direct rule, and whatever decrees the emperor dictated for Rome, Philippi obeyed as well. This included the decree by Caesar Claudius in 49 AD to expel all Jews from the city (Acts 18:2). That is why when Paul and Silas arrived in about 51 AD, they found no Jewish synagogue in Philippi.
The jailer was likely a retired Roman legionary and the jail seems to have been part of his own estate. As a Roman citizen, the jailer had an extensive Graeco-Roman heritage and culture. He had religion, art, science, philosophy, music, theater. He had his own beliefs about the creation and nature of the world as well as the afterlife.
In his job as jailer, a proud Roman citizen in a city of old Roman soldiers, he had had only the briefest experience with the God of Abraham, probably no more than bigoted Roman gossip--"glad to have gotten rid of those unpatriotic monotheists."
But something was missing. He heard two men who should have been in the deepest despair--who should have been cursing the gods--instead praising their God. They had a joy and a peace he did not have. We can see this because his first action upon thinking they had been freed by an earthquake was to kill himself.
Think about this: He had an excellent excuse: "Sir, it's not my fault! Those men were freed by the gods themselves!" but his life was already so much on the edge of despair that he knew not even that would save him.
Even after he saw they had not taken their chance to escape and he was safe for the night from his own commander, he still wanted the peace they had. "What must
I do to be saved?"
Paul and Silas did
not launch into a study of theology. They did
not try to convince him to believe in Genesis (which at best can make nobody any more than a Jew). They did not try to first dismantle his lifetime of Roman science and art. Instead they led him straight to Jesus, baptizing him
within the same hour.
Seek to know Jesus first. When you
know Jesus, you can defer the rest.
And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you. --
Philippians 3:5
so I will humbly give my 2 cents.. These discussions of whether God exists or not and big bang theory vs creation is all wonderful for debates. Does not really work out well in personal relationship. It is way more important to understand that you are trying to talk with your husband and personal connection is more important than winning a debate. Connect with him emotionally. There is going to be a reason and "why" for him to reject God. Understand that. And let him see the change in your life. More often that draws people to God. And remember, it is God who can bring can change in your husband's heart and not our wisdom. Personally, I would never engage in debates on big bang with close friends or relatives. I think a better way to evangelize with them is through personal connection. They should see how we are able to understand them and they need to realize we are for them and not against them. When we pray for them and God answers, all these debates are out of the window!! Sorry I am not talking about something else instead of answering your question. Thought of sharing my thoughts.
