Where do you believe the stuff that made the Big Bang came from? I have always been curious and would like to know what you think. Thank you.

It's an interesting question.
It's very similar to the countless theories that abound about the origins of life - did you ever notice that they all start with the building blocks of life already in place?
Like wise with the BigBang - the singularity that started it all just happened to be..........mmmmm, come to think of it, nobody's answered that one yet.

Well no one knows. Today scientists are working to find an aswer to that quesiton. String theory is something underway to do that. We know (or believe) that the big bang occurred. Why or how it happened we dont know.
Stepping away from science; the religion of Islam states that the universe began with a, "bang," which shows relation to the big bang which is counter to other beliefs of the world being created in seven days.
Brian Greene is an expert in the field and this video might fill in the gaps to some of your quesitons.

The big bang theory is only relative to the beginning of our universe about 13.7 billon years ago and it seems plausible. What is tough to fathom is what existed before the time of the big bang, especially when you think about things in a linear timeline. What was there before the big bang and before that and before that....
But I'm not one to fall back on God or other religious figures when we don't know have an answer. I believe there's something in another dimension that deals with the fabric of space and time that is difficult for most people to think about since we only live in a three dimension realm.

There is nothing before the Big Bang. That would be before the universe existed. If you're suggesting that God had to create it, then who created God? If God was always there, then why couldn't the stuff that the Big Bang came from have always been there?

There are a few possibilities. One is that all the matter in the universe was confined to an extremely dense singularity, just imagining how dense that singularity must've been boggles the mind. Another possibility could be that the matter flowed into our universe from another universe, perhaps through a blackhole in that universe that led to the singularity in our universe.
Nobody knows for sure, and actually the second possibility is one that I came up with so I'm not sure if any scientists would agree with me on that one.

Don't know. Clubsandr is right, at least for the immediate aftermath.
However, if God did it, where did God come from? And don't tell me he sprang out of nothingness: that is just as ridiculous as an almost infinitely dense point of energy appearing! Neither gods nor energy appear in nothingness in modern times... although you may want to read about vacuum energy (http://www.physicspost.com/articles.php?articleId=202), which says matter/energy can appear for very short periods of time.
Science has hypotheses for the time befor time (http://www.physics.princeton.edu/~steinh/npr/), but the physics will **** with your head and there is no way humans can test it.

The early universe was filled homogeneously and isotropically with an incredibly high energy density and concomitantly huge temperatures and pressures. It expanded and cooled, going through phase transitions analogous to the condensation of steam or freezing of water as it cools, but related to elementary particles.

In as much as I was not around to see how everything came into being (and neither were you),I say, "I don't know ..... YET!" To assume that some god, my less than intellectual ancestors made up, instantaneously farted the universe into being, is absurd

I'm agnostic (i don't know if i spelled that right), so i guess i think God did it.
Another idea is that the universe collapses after billions of years and starts over again and we live our lives over and over and over but don't know.
Really, in the end...it's over our heads...we weren't meant to know some things and we never will for sure.

The stuff or matter came from energy being changed into matter. Now you figure out where the energy came from!
