This has been an equally common problem in people's misunderstanding of the Genesis record. The Bible has not given a method of creation that God used to bring things into existence. Well-educated atheists hate the Big Bang theory because they know it assumes creation. What exploded is not addressed by the theory. Another exaanple is the question of the age of the earth and what is on it.
Many theologies give a very specific time reference to biblical events.
For this view to be true, the earth's age has to be relatively young. Many views of the book of Revelation put very specific restraints on the timing of biblical events. The fact is that, to establish any kind of a time reference for the natural history of this planet, a variety of assumptions of the Bible have to be made. These assumptions and the time limitations that denominational views put on events in the Bible are what create the conflicts with scientific evidence.
