Do Jewish scientists believe in genesis or the big bang theory?
Almost all Jewish scientists, like almost all Gentile scientists, accept the Big Bang as the correct description of our Universe.

That being an irrefutable fact, I seriously doubt there are many Jewish scientists that are Biblical literalists.
