The only difference is the latter big bang has a sentient intelligence

The Big Bang theory came from a Jesuit priest. I don't believe it came
from theology instead of Hubbell's observations. Einstein based his
theories on a steady state universe and threw in a fudge factor to make
the math come out right. Thus he believed. At the time the Jesuit won even
though Einstein told him his physics sucked.
