A long ways. Hundreds and hundreds of miles.

I have doubts about the Big Bang. But try this on for size: if the Bang did occur, it would have been at the center of the universe, correct? The universe is infinitely large.
We are infinitely far from any edge of the universe.
So, technically, we could be anywhere in between. Even on top of this theoretical Big Bang's starting place.
Unless of course, the Bang originated outside the universe.

a couple billion light years, we have no clue. Kolob is the center of the universe and thus probably the source of the big bang. And the universe is not infenitly big it just grows bigger every second so, there is a center.

Assuming the Big Bang Theory is true...and assuming it occurred at a single point...there are a couple factors we would need to calculate the point of origin. 1) we would have to calculate our exact trajectory and rate of acceleration through space.
2) Would also have to calculate the exact location of 6 other points, their trajectory and accelleration through space...
3) when you have that information you can then calculate the point at which they would intersect.
Current estimates say that the universes is hundreds of billions of years old. If we could calculate our exact trajectory, and rate of acceleration...we could then calculate point of origin by reversing the function until acceleration reaches 0. But that could seriously be light years off.

It happened roughly 13.5 billion years ago. SO the best estimate will be 13.5 billion light years. This assumes all of us came from the same point. which may be a wrong assumption. But einsteis theory is a big elephant that throws all other theory out the windows. But his theories are not the final word on this

The big bang didn't happen in only a place in our universe. The big bang was the complete universe. It happenned everywhere.

You are assuming that the theory of the Big Bang is true! It has never been proven.

156 billion light years and growing.
