Now, you obviously have a stiffie towards the Christian faith. Thats your right, just have the testicular/ovarian fortitude to admit it.
Next, the universe probably isn't 14,000,000,000 years old and it probably isn't 6,000 years old either ... and it doesn't matter.
The issue is whether the universe is one of determinism or one of free will.
You actually have science on your side to a point as science in many ways dictates that the universe is a determinist one as the neutrinos passing through both of us were set in motion at the moment of Creation. Back to us all being bots as free will is wholly incompatible with a determinist universe.
The alternative ... and science is about to slay the determinist myth.
Quantum theory dictates that there are always two or more possible outcomes ... no determinism ... and that actions/choices and/or observations made by consciousness are what determines the outcomes and causes the reality to solidify.
Taking that to it's logical conclusion, at the moment of creation the universe both did and didn't exist until an action/choice/observation by intelligence occurred.
This demonstrates that on the other side of the singularity lies something and that something cannot possibly have been a part of this universe as time/space/energy/matter did not yet exist.
Please look up the definition of supernatural, and the BB fits it.
Now, consciousness is obviously the fly in the ointment of determinism.
We see meteors, planets, galaxies, comets all move with incredible precision yet I haven't decided if I want another cup of coffee.
The meteors, planets, galaxies, comets cannot change their paths of their own free will because they have none. I can, because I have free will.
Now, what exempted me from determinism? What consciousness observed the BB?
Those are the philosophical questions that hang on faith because, as Hawking said, what lies on the other side of the singularity is both unknown and unknowable to science.
That something lies beyond it that caused the BB is undeniable, except by fools.
