Lemaitre might be considered the "Father" of the big bang theory is no rumor, and the reason that Christians (Catholics especially) like to remind folks of this fact is because there seems to be a genuine canard that the Christian faith is incompatible with cutting edge science.
Precisely.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
