There is a space of asteriods between Mars and Jupiter. Did it occur there.?

space-time itself originated in the big bang. everywhere in the universe was once the big bang, and the whole universe was the big bang. it is actually a common misconception that the big bang occurred at a specific location.

The big bang is a term for what scientists describe as the event that created the entire universe, including a space of asteriods between Mars and Jupiter. It means the entire shebang.

The Big Bang occurred several billion years ago and it's actual location is millions of light years away in either the Eagle Nebula or the Horse Nebula (sorry, I don't remember which) , You can get a nice image of the nebula, however, from the Hubbard Telescope image gallery. It has a bright yellow in the middle with stars around it... a really nice image.
The reason the Big Bang is so far away is, the universe has been expanding outward ever since the Big Bang happened so the location of the actual event gets further and further away.
Perhaps someone who knows their astronomy better can be a bit more specific. If you don't get an answer, e-mail me and I'll send you a copy of the image because I have it on my computer.

Big bang theory states the whole universe our solar system was formed by that. When the dust and gaseous clouds formed rings and central portion was thick which formed as the sun and the outer rings which were farther to the sun got formed as Jovian planets namely Jupiter, saturn, neptune and uranus consisting mainly of gaseous substance. The closer ones to sun got formed as planets such as mars, venus, mercury and earth consisting of rocky substance as the suns heat turned the dust/gases as hard mass. The ones between Mars and Jupiter were loose rocks of all shapes and sizes and these were asteroids. The ring of this area is known as asteroid belt and lies about 250-300 million miles from the Sun.

The big bang generally refers to the whole universe. The big bang is what some scientists think started the universe and where all the material came from to form the planets,galaxies, and all the other things. What we call the universe now used to be what the big bang was in essence. Generally scientists thought of it as a giant fireball in the whole universe. Eventually it exploded and that's what became the universe we live in now.

if the big bang ever did happen...it did not happen in our galaxy. If it did happen it wouldnt have happened inbetween mars and jupiter...it is two small of a space. If it did occur it would have happened in the very center of the universe...and our solar system is only a small part of the galaxy which is a very small part of the universe

No.Our galaxy is a product of the Big Bang.Our solar system is just a dust in our Milky Way galaxy.The asteroids between Mars and Jupiter are probably debris formed during collisions in the early formation of our solar system.

Not even close. Where did you get such an idea? The big bang occurred about 14 billion years ago in a very very far away place some 14 billion light years away.

No. If you believe in such a thing, everything was created out of the big bang, and all the galaxies are rushing away from the central spot where the incident occurred.

There are literally "billions" of galaxys in the known universe...and the galaxy in which our solar-system is located is called "The Milky Way"...and the nearest galaxy to our own is Andromeda galaxy...which is about 4.5 light-years from our own. One light-year is slightly less than 25 "trillion" miles...so the distance from our Milky Way galaxy to the nearest (Andromeda) is difficult even to imagine by our finite minds. And first of all, the "big bang" is nothing but a theory that "man" invented who refuse to believe in a true and all-powerful living God...Who "created" the entire universe. Our Milky Way galaxy is only one among uncountable billions (if not trillions) in the known Universe.

The big bang occured in Room #5 at the Holiday Inn in Omaha.
