Why are scientists running away from The Big Bang?

Some say Christians should avoid science.  Others, like me, say we should embrace it.  Could God be the reason scientists are now saying the big bang didn't happen?

Everything we know about the Big Bang could be wrong

The quote above is from dailydot.com.  Here's the opening line from the article.  Hope you're sitting down.

Could the Big Bang theory be wrong? A proposed new model of the universe argues yes—the universe has no origin point at all.

It's funny.  Some people say Christians should stay away from comparing science and the Bible.  Others - like C. S. Lewis, one of my favorite authors - say the exact opposite.  I've always thought embracing both science and the Bible should be a good thing.  I mean - what are we afraid of?  That God lied about how the universe was created?  Or maybe that He doesn't know how it happened?

The fear is that by trying to use the Bible to explain what scientists say, we are up against a moving target - because even though science claims to have the answer and really "know" things - those "known" things change.  Just like this one says -

Everything we know about the Big Bang could be wrong.

Notice - it doesn't say everything we thought we knew.  It says everything we knew.  That calls scientific "knowledge" into question.

But what about the Bible?

The Bible says - 

Ge 1:3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.

OK - that lines up with the Big Bang.  The Big Bang (used to) calls for a massive explosion of energy.  And the purest form of energy is - Light.

And now for the greatest fear of those who say Christians should avoid science - we have the statement that maybe the Big Bang didn't happen.  But before we panic - let's look at how this new theory came about and what it says.

Now researchers working in Egypt and Canada have proposed a new model with a much simpler idea of the beginning of the universe: There wasn't one.

...

The biggest problem with the Big Bang theory is that none of the equations that explain what happened in the singularity can take us all the way back to the moment the singularity actually happened. Instead, the laws of physics can only explain what occurred from the moment the universe achieved what's known as the Planck Temperature, which happened after the theoretical singularity.

Oh.  So the Big Bang didn't happen - because science can't come up with a cause for it.  Therefore, the universe has always existed?

A new "knowledge" (aka theory) was inevitable

From a Biblical / Christian perspective - let me propose two reasons why this new scientific theory had to come out - why it was inevitable -

1. It avoids the issue of having to explain why / how the Big Bang happened.  The Bible says very clearly why it happened - God said - and it happened.
2. And based on item #1 - and most importantly - it avoids the whole "God" issue.  If the Big Bang didn't happen - if the universe existed since eternity past - then God isn't "needed", from their point of view.  Problem "solved".

Does that mean there's a problem now with what the Bible says?  
Not at all.
It means that Christians need to be aware of the change in "knowledge" - and why that change took place.  It's not unlike what happened to the word "evolution" after Darwin came on the scene.  I have an article from my old site that I guess I need to move over here.  It talks about how evolution used to be used by Christians - including the aforementioned C. S. Lewis - to describe their own beliefs, including that God controlled the evolution of His creation from one phase to the next.  Post Darwin, the definition got changed because of a new popular use in the culture - and now Christians find themselves fighting against a word they used to embrace.
So - no - don't run away from science.  Embrace it.  But also remember it.  When science tries to change the conversation - tries to just turn 180 degrees to do nothing other than take credit away from God - call it out.  Don't forget it.  

Another "problem" - 

Another basic problem is that if the universe is expanding, it must have been expanding from an area that was, at one point, incredibly small and dense—perhaps even infinitely small and dense.
