This is what is called a coincidence. The Big Bang theory was not
proposed based on anything from the Judeo-Christian doctrine. It is solely
the product of scientific data. Further, the data that supports the Big Bang
also conclusively proves that the literal Genesis creation story is wrong.

No they did not. The word heresy is a religious term, referring to refusal
to accept the dogma of a particular religion as a matter of faith.
Scientists before Lemaitre did not support the idea of a creation event
because there was no scientific evidence of a creation event. They did not
reject it as a matter of faith. Once Hubble's law was discovered, it was
only a matter of time till someone ran the line on the graph backwards to
time zero and discovered the Big Bang. Le Maitre deserves full credit for
his theory, but it had nothing to do with his religious training. If not Le
Maitre, some other astronomer would have quickly seen the implication of
Hubble's Law.

Not one single astronomer, geologist, or physicist has ever tried to hide
the Big Bang theory from students. The only people who have tried to ban the
Big Bang from schools have been the religious fundamentalists.

Since the premise was false, this conclusion is also false.

Well, now the author is revealing his ignorance of probability too.
Biologists do not ignore the math. They simply point out that evolution is
not a random event. So random number calculations are irrelevant.
