I used to have the same conflicts and can assure you that the Bible and science are 100% compatible. You are probably assuming there is irrefutable evidence for evolution and maybe a big bang origin? I found Phillip Johnson's "Evolution on Trial" an excellent and easy reading source documenting where the public school textbooks and evolutionary biologists outright lie about the evidence for evolution, which they have to because it's pure fantasy based on the vain imagination of men who chose not to retain God in their knowledge (see Romans 1:18-32). But realize also the "pull of Jesus" you are feeling is due to the abiding wrath of God that rests on all sinners who have not received Jesus as saviour. Taking God at his word as provided in Genesis for the Creation account does not deal with your sin problem. The gift of eternal life requires you to believe some specific truths given to us in God's word about yourself that tends to be an uncomfortable truth to face. The following link is an example of the gospel message of salvation that is central to our faith, which is the only way to have any rejoicing in the hope of the glory of God (cf Romans 5:1-2); i.e. an eternal life reconciled with God in Christ.
