Most [[Atheist|atheists]] believe in the Big Bang theory. There is active research and speculation into what caused the Big Bang, but atheists agree it was not a deity.
Most [[Atheist|atheists]] believe in the Big Bang theory<sup>Citation needed</sup>. There is active research and speculation into what caused the Big Bang, but atheists agree it was not a deity.
However, early resistance to the big bang model came from atheistic Soviet Russia -- as the big bang implies a beginning to the universe, this did not fit into the traditional atheistic belief that the universe had always existed, therefore not requiring a deity to create it. It was originally held as proof for theists that the universe was created by a deity -- as the big bang model implies a beginning to time and space. Theistic resistance to the big bang model came later with a rise in literalism in biblical criticism.

Many scientists who believe in the Big Bang Theory are [[Evolutionist]]s, though not all are. One can believe that God both created the Universe AND laid out the plan for all life in the Big Bang, as opposed to the idea that life evolved randomly after the Big Bang.
