This is one thing that I think the Catholic Church gets right. They have incorporated modern scientific findings into their belief system in a way that makes sense. I've always imagined this belief as God creating the point of infinite density and "poking" it to cause the big bang, and everything that has happened all was according to his plan. This, coupled with Genesis being a metaphor (world created in 6 days vs. billions of years), makes the origin story of the world easily combined with modern science.
