No one knows for sure.
I don't buy into the religious thing though.
If it was created by 'God' then where did 'God' come from? - If 'God' has always existed then why can't the universe have always existed?
I'm not saying there aren't beings out there vastly superior to us, just not in the way our primitive ancestors percieved it.

One point the Earth was not created by the big bang - not directly... it was formed 8 Billion years after the big bang and the Earths formation was triggered by a exploding star causing a nebulae to collapse under its own weight. - search google its all there.
As for the what cause big bang there are several theories...
1. two universes collide in the a higher dimension. the energy rippling through one of these universes supplies the energy from which the matter you and i are made from.
2. Before the big bang the universe was collapsing and into a big crunch (basically the big bang in reverse). when the whole of creation has been crushed smaller than an atom the laws of physics change and causes the universe to rebound (in a big bang) recycling all the previous matter in it.
Theories 1 & 2 will have detectable differences watch the results coming in from the WMAP experiment.
3. God did it! - fine if you believe that but don't use that answer as an excuse not to pursue the question of how it was done.

First of all, the Big Bang Theory states that the solar system was formed from a spinning nebula, which is a ball of clouds and dust, and overtime, the ball advanced into more solid material, forming our nine planets. Now this is a good "possible" explanation. However the bible states that God created Heaven and Earth, which in the bible is said to have started the life of man, plants, and animals. Also, in the bible, the other 8 planets in our solar system were not mentioned, nor were they discussed. This leaves me questioning also. How did God come into power? Is there really a possibility that the solar system, and humans were created from a spinning nebula. Now me, I personally find the Big Bang Theory hard to believe, simply because all of our bodies are filled with concentrated energy; energy that could not have just appeared out of thin air. Now as a God believer, I feel that he was generated from those gases that created our solar system, because if you read the bible, or watch the discovery channel, it says that on the night of Jesus' birth, the stars and many other space bodies, positioned themselves perfectly over Jesus' manger. This is just something to think about.

The big bang was the result of inevitability. The Universe as we know it is currently expanding.... it expands not into space or a lack of anything but quite literally into nothing - there is no "beyond the universe" the universe is both bounded and limitless & proof for this can be shown with extremely complex physics.
Therefor before the universe, there was nothing. No matter. No space. No time. Nothing. However, it is this lack of anything that makes everything ineveitable as we know from probability that no matter how unlikely an event or outcome, given enough time simply through trial and error every outcome will eventually occur.
This implies the Universe was inevitable because where their is NO time; time paradoxically, must be infinite & - thus allowing for all probabilities (one of which inevitably, would have been our universe).
There is no requirement for god, no requirement for a creator - and indeed no hint of a creator until man came along and assumed there must have been one because he was too ignorant to know the real answer and to arrogant to simply say "I don't know the answer yet" when posed with difficult questions about origins and meaning.

You gotta consider what the word "science" means. It does not mean a people or institution that deals with facts. Those who promote the concept of evolution are promoting their own religion. There is no proof of this concept, and were a person to consider what it would take to form a first cell, that would have to divide after having been formed, they would reject that religion offhand. The same applies to the "big bang". This is still a theory. Those who promote this theory have not solved where the original mass came from, or who put it together as differing atomic particles. The big bang is still a theory - "Creation" makes more sense and fills in all the missing parts.
Were you to check out http://timebones.blogspot.com and on "Previous Posts" click on "The Problem and Repair of Relativity". There is more proof that the "Big Bang" is impossible, than possible.

Science does not say the world was created by the big bang.
The big bang is a philosophical (religious) idea promoted by certain people. Even its adherents admit that it is a conjecture full of problems.
Using operational science we cannot prove things about the past. Operational science (which gives us cars and computers) relies on scientists being able to repeat, observe and test their hypotheses.
When it comes to the past, and doing origins science, scientists have to interpret the evidence that we have in the present, and that intpretation involves a philosophical framework. For many people science has now been defined as naturalism. For example see the quote below. This is not how great scientists such as Newton, Faraday, Kepler, Hooke, etc, etc saw the world.
The Biblical framework of creation, and the historicial account in Genesis, provides a supioror explanation for what we see in the present. The Big Bang hypothesis changes every five minutes as they discover contradictory evidence.
Check out the links below for articles on the nature of science, and dozens of articles on astronomy and big bang.
The prominent evolutionist Professor Richard Lewontin said:
‘We take the side of science in spite of the patent absurdity of some of its constructs, in spite of its failure to fulfil many of its extravagant promises of health and life, in spite of the tolerance of the scientific community for unsubstantiated just-so stories, because we have a prior commitment, a commitment to materialism. It is not that the methods and institutions of science somehow compel us to accept a material explanation of the phenomenal world, but, on the contrary, that we are forced by our a priori adherence to material causes to create an apparatus of investigation and a set of concepts that produce material explanations, no matter how counter-intuitive, no matter how mystifying to the uninitiated. Moreover, that materialism is an absolute, for we cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door.’

The way I look at it is, that it is something beyond our brains capabilities to ever understand.
To explain what I mean, if a television broke, it can be mended - but not by a monkey. the reason being that it is beyond a monkey's brains capabilities ie it will never understand.
In the same way, I believe religion / the universe is beyond a human mind's capabilities.

Not sure, but India or Pakistan are probably going to be responsible for the next "big bang"...
