...and God said, "Let there be light..."
Sounds like a reasonable explanation to me.

Well that depends on what you believe. Do you believe in the Big Bang Theory, and God? In my opinion it's quite possible to believe both, but only if you believe that "Big Bang" is what scientists called the creation of Earth only because they could find no other explanation for what happened when God created our planet. Did God explode? Not according to what I believe. In The Bible God is called the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end. God has always been there and always will. The main thing about reading The Bible AND understanding it, is you can't always take the text literally. I believe that God created the Earth. I believe that He did it in six days. Do I believe that God's days are the same as our days? No, His could be years, thousands of years long. What's a day to a being that has lived forever?

The explosion (the "Big Bang") is the beginning of the universe as we know it. We are now in the aftermath of that explosion, which is really an advanced stage of it. So the universe as we know it *is* the explosion. Of course, there cannot have been a prime cause, as this is a contradictio in adjecto: every cause is itself an effect. There is no first link in the chain.
God can only be said to be the whole chain. However, this chain can not have consciousness, because there is nothing else. For the same reason it must have always existed.

mmmm....its difficult to use the Big Bang and God in the same sentence.
If you believe in the big bang (which i do), you have to also believe in the Big Crunch, which is the exact opposite...
Something tells me God isn't gonna be squeezing the universe back into a dense little ball of matter and anti-matter and then having it all explode outwards again...
but what do i kow, i'm only a sinning human who should not fill my head with REASONING and UNDERSTANDING and SCIENCE since, obviously...OPBVIOUSLY, thats all Satan trying to veer me from the path i'm supposed to be on, which is shunning evolution, dinosaurs, homosexuality, pagans, science, and...well....anything those zealots are preaching nowadays as being "right in the eyes of God"...
whose to say? Is some bush somewhere burning that i haven't heard about?
but i digress...

Yes it was God speaking that caused the big bang. The whole universe heard His voice and obeyed.

Actually matter...or was it anti-matter? Oh, well, doesn't matter. Anyway, "it" came out of nowhere, and somehow, bumped, and for some reason, exploded, thus creating an infinite universe that is expanding into nothing.
Yeah, makes alot more sense than "God did it."

No I tend to think the Big bang was the conception of God

We all know explosions create things, not destroy them. Even a five year old knows that.

nope, as this fails to explain where god came from, so you may as well drop the god thing, thus making everything easier to explain

Interesting theory! I never thought of that, it could've been!
