However, when talking about the Big Bang Theory, Tyson does write that he has no explanation for how that tiny dot even got there in the first place (to explode). Therefore, that does not contradict at all one's personal faith that God started that tiny dot, that God caused the explosion which got everything under way. So to answer your question, no.(less)
