Best Answer

Religious fundamentalists believe that an omnipotent being (God) created the universe according to His will. The Big Bang theory postulates that the universe began in an "explosion" seemingly randomly and without guiding purpose. The objection is mostly based in a difference in beliefs.

You are asking a complex question that has no single correct answer. To start with, not all religious fundamentalists object to the 'Big Bang' theory, and in fact many have seen it as conclusive evidence that the universe was created at a specific point in time by an outside force. Those that do object to the Big Bang theory each have their own reasons, but most can be simplified to, "Because it disagrees with my personal religious beliefs." Adherents to this statement rationalize their belief by arguing that because scientists are not always right, and have been wrong about things before (i.e. the world being flat, the earth being the center of the universe, diseases being caused by 'bad blood' within the body, etc.), scientists are currently wrong about the origin of the universe, because their religion states that it came about in a different way, or always has been.

How small was the object that started the big bing?

The "size" of the "object" that created the Big Bang is pure speculation. First off, it's important to note that it wasn't really an object that started the big bang. The big bang was simply the expansion of all the material in the universe. Whatever existed before what is called the "Planck Epoch" (10-43 seconds after the big bang) isn't known, but current theories assume that it was a gravitational singularity of infinite density. So, all the matter in the universe was, at one time, compressed into an object of a single dimension, an idea that can't really be comprehended accurately by the human mind.So, to ask how small the object that started the big bang was is to ask a question that can't be answered.
