Like, what started the big bang, if that is what you believe.

046:003] We created not the heavens and the earth and all that is between them except with truth, and for an appointed term. But those who disbelieve, turn away from that whereof they are warned.
[046:004] Say (O Muhammad [sal-Allâhu 'alayhi wa sallam] to these pagans): "Think you about all that you invoke besides Allâh? Show me. What have they created of the earth? Or have they a share in (the creation of) the heavens? Bring me a Book (revealed) before this, or some trace of knowledge (in support of your claims), if you are truthful!"
[046:005] And who is more astray than one who calls on (invokes) besides Allâh, such as will not answer him till the Day of Resurrection, and who are (even) unaware of their calls (invocations) to them?

Although there are no widely accepted theories in science that would provide a cause for the Big Bang, there are hypotheses such as the one in string theory in which two m-brane structures, that are inherent aspects of an 11-dimensional multiverse, collided releasing massive energy that resulted in the singularity that is the Big Bang. Another hypothesis is that we live in an oscillating universe; the Big Bang and the following expansion in which entropy (disorder) is constantly increasing, the next phase is contracting phase in which entropy reduces and all energy and mass restore order by returning to one point in what is known as the "Big Crunch." However, neither of these hypotheses have been confirmed and the Big Crunch is now being seen as an unlikely outcome of the universe. Ultimately, I am unsure if we will have an answer in the near future, but we will find an answer. Even if one believes in a God, an equally valid question would be where did God come from? If the response is that God is outside time and eternal. That would be intellectually lazy. We would not advance to where we are today if simply placed God in the gaps of our knowledge; we should go beyond mythology. After all, one could state a different myth or even state that because the fabric space and time did not exist before the big bang, it just happened.

That's not the issue. Scientists will even admit that they don't know what blew up; they just know that something did. That's really not a very debatable fact in the scientific community nowadays; Big Bang Theory is very widely accepted. The point is that there was a "big bang." What caused it, or what blew up is a mystery for now. So if you want to hold the opinion that God caused it, go ahead; science hasn't disproven that yet.

well, ethically speaking, scientists have been quite careful or should i say politically correct to put god outside the framework of science. however, neither can they (science) comment on whether or not the creation or big bang was not an intervention of an divine being. in my opinion, it is really hard and scary to believe that we are all alone. not that i am in denial but from the things that happened from the dawn of time, it is extremely difficult to explain how things can coinsidentally fit together to produce life as it is today. nevermind what some scienctists said about the evolution of life takes place on an extremely long time scale (millions of years), still such possibilty is like when you blew up a room full of furniture and when the dust settled they reassembled just like it was before - this is really hard to stomach with science. hence, i'll take my chances with god.

Two universes hitting into each other started the big bang I think? They just found evidence there is like 11 other out there so one could collide with us again I guess?

It didn't 'start'. The universe always existed, only the visible portion had a beginning (and, presumably, the other 'visible' areas that are outside our own).
Quantum physics makes it perfectly clear that the underlying substance MUST exist extra-temporally or there would be a violation of Heisenburg's Indeterminacy Principle.
Yay, and this answer gets me Level 6.

Why does everything have to have a "start?" Why is most (western world especially) thinking so linear? What is infinity? Boggle your mind with that one. Why do our little unevolved brains ask so many questions that HAVE no answers, & then debate one another over "theories?" This is a non-question.
(& mine were rhetorical only.) But of course!

I believe that God did every thing that we can see or not 100%

It just happened. I think it's unfair that I'm expected to explain the origins of the universe, just because I'm not a creationist.

That would be Chance, the name of the god of Science.
Oh, that's right! They don't believe in Faith.
