The thing is, the gaping flaws in the big bang theory prevent it from being a thorough enough explanation even for secular astronomers.
Here's a rough outline:
>In the beginning hot, dense matter
>Boom releasing mainly hydrogen and helium atoms
>Light atoms form clouds
>Clouds condense into stars
First, there is a beginning. Please do offer an explanation for a start out of nothing with science. Matter cannot be created nor destroyed.
The main stumbling block is the formation of stars from tiny atoms. The only molecule that could be formed would be H2 which would be destroyed in the ultra-violet radiation. Additionally, hydrogen usually needs a grain of dust to form a larger molecule. To get this dust, a pre-existing star must have exploded resulting in the presence of heavier elements to act as the base. You would also require energy to condense these stars. Where do we get the energy? Many scientists have explained it with...a star exploding! So, to form a star we need another star. It just doesn't work.
