As for the Big Bang....I don't think most Christians have an issue with that. The universe had a begining, it had to come from somewhere and someone. As opposed to everything coming into existence out of nothing...most Christians would believe God is the cause. Which, of course, Genesis plainly points out.
A literal interpretation of Genesis is not especially friendly to our current scientific notions of what followed the big bang either. For example, it says earth was created before pretty much anything else other than the heavens, which were seemingly created at the same time. (Genesis 1.1) There was apparently day and night prior to the existence of the sun. (Genesis 1.5, 1.16) The earth was also said to have existed before the stars. (Genesis 1.14) Not to mention the whole earth being less than 6000 years old thing.
