....The big bang theory contradicts the laws of physics. There must then be a GREATER power at work for us to exist. This must be GOD....

Hmm, interesting question.
I don't believe in the Big Bang myself, but there is a way to argue for it, I suppose (though, I've not seen anyone do it).
Matter and energy are almost the same. In Einstein's famous equation "E = mc^2" he basically states that matter has an energy equivalent. If you assume that the energy somehow came from the matter itself, then the Big Bang theory has a chance, at least when put against the Law of Conservation of Energy.
But other questions arise. What about the Conservation of Angular momentum? What about where the matter came from in the first place? Did it just appear, and if it did, was it stable enough to mention it's existance?
My understanding is, the Big Bang Theory sprouted from the observation that the universe is expanding (because it's mostly Red; redshift...) So... Rewind that, and they assume it all originated from one point.
They really don't know where it originated from, when it was, or even how. It's really a "What if"..

We know that matter comes into existence spontaneously and uncaused because that's what particle physics says, and that's what we see in experiments in particle accelerators. There is no issue with energy because these are 'zero sum' events - i.e. no net loss or gain of energy. Some cosmologists think that the universe is a 'zero sum' universe too, so in that case the existence of the universe would not contradict the laws of physics.
Regardless of that, the big bang is a pretty well supported theory now. We don't have to know how it happened to know that it happened. We can see that the universe is expanding and we can see the left-over radiation from the big bang exactly as predicted by theory. Have a read about it sometime.

Your logic is flawed, and no the Big Bang does not necessarily contradict the laws of physics. Consider that most science now acknowledges that the Universe is expanding and that at some point, like a rubber band, it will collapse on itself, and when it does, all that energy from the collapse will then blow back out.....voila, another expanding Universe, same amount of energy, just a different outcome. Now, this is of course merely conjecture, since none of us will leave long enough to see what happens, however, it could mean that the Universe has created itself many times over already. Now, at this point you should know I do believe in a higher power, and I accept that it may have been responsible for the initial moment of creation so to speak, vis a vis the first burst of energy, but I do not believe that we are a direct creation nor are we alone in the Universe. It's akin to a child having a rubber ball, he throws it down, the energy stored reacts, the ball bounces up, loses momentum (loss of inertia) then falls (stores energy from the fall) then bounces up again. This analogy could describe the initial creation and subsequent big bang. Hope this helps.
Also, Trouthunters answer regarding the singularity fits.

No you are wrong. At first I thought the big bang was the night I got married. Ok so I was wrong also.
The big bang theory is a proven theory. In all ways possible short of humans visiting that time frame.
For centuries it was argued that evolution wa swrong and God was our methjod of getitng here. But as education advanced first the "old Testiment had to be replaced by the New Testiment". Educated people just could se though the old.
Now even the Roman Catholic Church achknowledges that evolution is real , but they want to give God credit for evolution.
Even the most hard core with any sense can see the planet is over 5000 years old as we have written records older than that, and millions of artifacts older than that. Those dogs just don't hunt any longer.
The fact that you want there to be a greater power at work in the form of "Man" of course doesn't mean there is.

How the crap did you come up with that? The big bang theory says that there was a giant star or some other massive thing that exploded just like stars that developed into our current universe. That didn't involve creating or destroying energy.

Why? The big bang theory is based on the premise that a super condensed particle of matter and energy exploded. Super condensed energy is not non existent.

Nope your wrong.
The Big bang originated out of what is called a singularity. a "place" of infinite density and gravity.
At time=0 our current physics do break down, but that is with our current understanding.
Singularities do exist, black holes are examples and cosmologist have found millions of them. The physics are well understood, up to the point of infinite density.
Just because you don't understand the physics and complex mathematics that governs these phenomena does not mean that "poof" god did it.

One of the implications of the BBT is that all the laws of physics that we now know, also came into being after the BB as did time and space.
Even if the BBT is wrong, and it may be, it doesn't default to "god did it"

I don't think the Big Bang Theory is as popular as it once was. There are lots of theories out there.

Do not criticize that which you clearly do not understand. Before you open your mouth, try actually studying the Big Bang theory.
