Well yeah when it comes to stuff like that I only let convo up to some point (like on this forum) after which I suggest them to read the book on that topic and when it comes to big bang I would suggest "The First Three Minutes: A Modern View Of The Origin Of The Universe" by Steven Weinberg or "A Universe from Nothing: Why There Is Something Rather than Nothing" by Lawrence Krauss.
That's why there's a short movie about childhood of Carl Sagan where he as a little boy asked people "what are stars?" and they told him to read a book about it which started a magical journey of enlightenment and learning about the universe.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
