No, that is not what the Big Bang says. It says (simplified) that the Universe was at one point located in just one point and that it then expanded from this point and in fact continues expanding. See
Big Bang for further info.

This notion of accepting theories and science in general is no more sane than accepting the concept of a God or multiple deities. Science can validate the belief in a God and can also deny the existence of said presence.

For the love of whather god you currently believe in, please read any introductory book on science.

But in the end it comes to whether or not you want to reduce existence to nothingness and random probability or you you can say that something else is the driving force behind the world and universe around us.

No. Science determines how the Universe we live in works, its parameters, etc. The fact that the Universe as such doesn't "care" about your life or any life or any non-life, but just does as it does, is just a fact. It doesn't demean the Universe or Science or anything, it is just a fact to know.
