Science offers for the creation of the Universe the 'Big Bang Theory'.

That's a bit of a stretch for what you said. It does indeed have those metaphors within it, and yes, a lot of religious people don't see the metaphor but take those (and pretty much all) of the bible literally. But I've still yet to see you back up your 'religion thinks it knows more than science' statement. It/they believe the above, but you won't find very many religious people who think religion trumps science overall insofar as 'knowledge'.
Actually after replying I can see now what you were getting at, I assume you meant religion thinks it knows more than science when it comes to the creation/development of Earth & humans. Yep, they're obviously wrong on that count, but it's probably about the only thing they believe they know better on when it comes to science - I read your previous post as they thought that in general - my bad if that wasn't the case
