God vs Big Bang- Are either correct?

" God vs Big Bang- Are either correct? "

Yes: the Big Bang has evidence.

The other is a nonsense religious claim.

Yeah... It's really silly to talk about the big bang as if there was no concrete hard evidence for it, as if it was some wildly speculative idea on par with anything you could make up on the spot. Much of that sentiment though seems to originate from a profound misunderstanding of what the theory actually says.

In any case, I don't see much direct relevance to the God question at all there, except that it closes some more gaps, as do most good theories. You already have to fudge your god around evolution and all of the other physics, the bbt just adds one more thing you have to tweak. Religion is intellectually empty: you can always say - but God made it so - and nothing is learned from it. No scientific theory can stop the believer fron doing meaningless gymnastics, and it is as pointless to argue concrete examples as it is pointless to nail jelly to the wall.
