Thought up initially by a priest who presumably believed in God and wanted to give creation a scientific base...but the big bang does not cover the moment of creation but chimes in a split second after leaving open the creation question which one could easily attribute to God.
I really think our cosmology may be driven by philosophy.
Nevertheless this is our best theory.

Alex,
Isaac Newton used the Bible to date the creation of the Universe to around 4,000 BC but this doesn't detract from his work as a scientist.
Interesting how Lemaitre was first and foremost a scientist, but being a priest has somehow muddied the waters.
If Lemaitre wasn't a priest would it have added more credibility to the theory?
Even Albert was initially concerned about a possible covert religious content in the theory but came about to accept it.
