[http://www.creationscience.com/onlinebook/AstroPhysicalSciences16.html]  Young earth creationist use the Bible, which they believe to be a literal truth, to trace lineages to estimate the age of the Earth to be around 6,000 years. This idea might be true, but does not conflict with Big Bang Theory because the young earth creationist cosmology is non-scientific (in the sense that it does not offer mathematical or logical models which make definite, testable predictions and describe or account for observated phenomena).

Some Old Earth Creationists and Theistic Evolutionist argue that the Big Bang is in fact mentioned in the Bible.

[http://www.reasons.org/resources/fff/2000issue03/index.shtml#big_bang_the_bible_taught_it_first] However, the Bible makes no mention of the "Big Bang". While the universe has been observed to be expanding, this need not be used as evidence of a Big Bang, because the Bible states in Jeremiah that God "stretched out the heavens".
