islam
The Genesis account should not be taken literally, as it contains discrepancies.[9] The earth is billions of years oldCreation took eight days, it says in Surah 41:9, 10, 12. Surah 10:3, however, states creation took six days.
The universe was produced by a "big bang" (Koran 21:30), produced by a kind of gas.[10] (Koran 41:11)
The Koran states God created every living thing from water.[11  (Koran 21:30; 24:45)
The Creator did not rest: "We created the heavens and the earth and all between them in six days, nor did any sense of weariness touch us." (Koran 50:38) 

christianity
A literal interpretation of Scripture indicates the earth is only a few thousand years old.
God created the universe in six days and rested on the seventh day. (Genesis 1:1 to 2:2)
In the beginning, God" (Genesis 1:1) alone existed.

God spoke the universe into existence by a word.
Genesis 1:20-21, 24 "And God said... and it was so." (Cp. Psalm 148:5)
God rested on the seventh day: "For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed." (Exodus 31:17).

What became known as the Big Bang theory was first proposed by the scientist and Roman Catholic priest Georges Lemaître.

Einstein initially dismissed the theory without thought or consideration, in part because it came from a priest and because it implied "Creation" and a "Creator."  Einstein was quick to endorse both Lemaître and his theory only after Hubble confirmed the theory.

I am quite sure that he came up with his idea within the scientific framework and withinout theology in mind.
