that the real problem these people have is not really theological, it's egotistical. It's fully consistent with the monotheistic notion of god to have s/he/it kick off the big bang and be letting the universe exist and be watched, but the real problem is that means not that god doesn't exist, but instead that the people making those arguments aren't special in any way; just one among a myriad of god's creatures and creations. THAT is the conclusion that cosmology, biology, and physics leads one to; it's not the (non)existence of god, but the ordinaryness of human beings that science demonstrates... and that is what the religious fundamentalist/extremist finds so offensive. It's not any strawman argument erected by the ignorant about how science says god doesn't exist, but sciences irrefutable evidence of their own lack of specialness and centricity in the Grand Scheme Of Things that bothers them so.
