No, you can thank an increase in our understanding of the earth and universe at all levels for causing lots of people to question un fathomable creation myths. It is simply a matter of knowledge overcoming superstition.
That's because you put God inside the box of creation.
Time, space and matter.
God is not effected by time space and matter.
Without time space and matter it becomes impossible for a "Big Bang" to happen.
Without time when did it happen?
Without space, where could the big bang go?
Without matter, where did it come from?
Time, space and matter would have to be created at the same time.
God is triune
Space=height, length, width
Time=past, present, future.
God is outside of time, seeing past, present and future.
Matter= protons, neutrons, and electrons
God created in triune being outside of creation, not dependent on time, space or matter to exist.
interesting that some people reject the trinity on principle, while simultaneously accepting the many three-in-one examples we see in nature. Perhaps this is one reason why God says, “. . . being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse” (Romans 1:18–20).
The Bible records that, in the beginning (time), God created the heavens (space) and the earth (matter). So the universe itself is a three-in-one of sorts, thereby reflecting its Maker. The logical, orderly way the universe behaves is also a reflection of the One who made it and sustains it by the word of His power (Hebrews 1:3).
It takes more faith to not believe than believe.
We can certainly make reasonable predictions about the future in some cases, but only God infallibly predicts specific future events. Isaiah 46:9–10 tells us that no one else is like God who alone declares the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things which have not yet been done.
