Well, the Big Bang really isn't an "explosion" in the way your question implies.
It isn't an explosion of matter into space, it's an expansion of the space itself. So, no match or fuse.
Other than that detail, I think your question is a version of the "prime mover" theological argument for the existence of God.
The problem with the argument is that it suggests that everything must have a cause, then says that God is the "first" cause. But then the argument refuses to answer the question of what "caused" God, by denying he had a cause. This, however, violates the very premise of the argument: that everything is caused.
So, if your question is - what "caused" the Big Bang, there may be an answer, but I suspect the best answer is "We don't know". I see no reason to equate "We don't know" with God. In fact, that sounds kind of insulting to this God, doesn't it?

I actually read The Elegant Universe by Brian Greene.
It all comes down to quantum mechanics and 11 dimensions and M theory.
These are just theories so, that means it goes on unproven for the time being.
In string theory, there are many dimensions and we are on one brane and another is in the higher dimension. When two parallel universes collide, that could be the big bang. Of course, since this is unproved, the problem remains unsolved.

A theory put forward in'Angels & Demons', by Dan Brown, is that the big bang is only explicable as the work of God.
Don't ask me...

Ha ha, how funny!
If you, against all my expectations, are more than just a person who has nothing better to do than ask stupid questions, then check out string theory (especially Brian Greene's book/film "An Elegant Universe"), it seems in some forms to give an answer.

I lit fuse and i didn't buy a match i stole a lighter and then filled it with butane lighter fluid that i bought. Does that answer your question or just raise more?

No fuse. No match. Just a theory.
