The scientific theory is that the Universe started as a fluctuation of the vacuum. Such vacuum fluctuations make appear a small amount of energy, for a small time. This phenomenon is responsible for the existence of forces, that hold the Universe and matter together.
Normally the bigger the energy fluctuation, the smaller the time it is in existence.
Not so the Big Bang. That was a HUGE fluctuation. So big that a lot of energy came to appearance in the form of mass, elementary particles. These particles started expanding, before the vacuum could reclaim the energy.
And it is still expanding today. 14 billion years later.
The Big Bang theory itself, doesn't say anything about the *cause* of the explosion. It describes only how the Universe evolved after the explosion took place.
Now for some speculation. Is our Universe the only one? Maybe not. The Big Bang was one big fluctuation, maybe other smaller or bigger, take place all the time.
But most of these fluctuations will produce Universes in which conditions are just not suitable for life.
The Universe we observe is by necessity one in which the conditions are just right for us to have evolved into Homo Sapiens capable of asking philosophical questions.

The big bang did not occur as it is taught, and people are led to believe. There is more to the story.
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away a superdense singluar was just finishing up it's meal of the entire universe. when it was almost done, it was so full of such a variety of stuff that reactions of both chemical and within the fabric of space were occuring, which then sparked into an implosion / explosion that instantly spread some objects across the universe, while others were sent outward from the center of the universe, and others still remained in the center. The universe continues to expand today, although some parts of it are slowly moving back toward the center to rejoin the singular that started it all.

I can't explain it myself, but here are some really good articles that attempt to explain what happened before the big bang. Apparently scientist think that time as we know it was created when the big bang occured, making it difficult to understand what was before the big bang, but they think it was some parallel 4 dimensional universes. Anyhoo, read the articles, they are very interesting!!

Nothing.
The big bang was a fluctuation in the vaccum state. It came from nothing.
If God created it then it follow that God is nothing. And if God is nothing he does not exist.
QED.

Oh grow up, that's like saying what created the universe? Then what created God? You're not being deep, you're being lame.

if you were to blow up a watch ,would the bits form more complicated working objects?obviously not,the universe is mathematically precise movements of objects that is far too complicated for any human to even theorise obviously a powerful intelligent god made everything.

Well it was an overload of energy in the center of that sun because it was old so when it died it exploded like any other star these days.
