Religion has served its purpose during evolution of the mind. Consciousness' main task is to reduce the information load and provide simple abstract concepts that you can work with. Those that spend too much time wondering about the why, didn't have time to think about the more important stuff, like day to day survival. File everything not needed atm under external forces cleans up a whole load of cognitive processes.
Looking at that big bang foolishness video it's still relevant today. It seems to say why bother with the why, too hard to understand, too much work to get yourself informed, no final answers anyway, just go with God and have time for more important stuff. And why not, stay connected with your neighborhood by going to church and participate in charity events, instead of spending your time learning the more intricate details of genetic switches and the current research into RNA formation.
Anyway the big bang theory and evolution are 2 different things, the formation of the solar system yet another. It's easy to point out the as yet unknowns in each field. Yet what is known today presents a far more consistent story overall, backed by observable evidence.
One other funny thing that occurred to me from this thread. "It was too warm on early earth for life" vs "Global warming is no problem, it has been far hotter on earth in the past"
