You are assuming that our lack of ability to answer a question implies the existence of a god.
In fact, the materials of the Earth were created in various stars a long time ago through a process called fusion. Gravity pulled those materials together into what we now call the Earth. The original hydrogen which gravity pulled together into the first stars did come out of a big explosion. There is plenty of evidence for it, which is why the vast majority of scientists agree there was.
We don't know what, if anything, was before that explosion. Making up answers for what started it, just doesn't really answer anything. It just stops people from asking. "God" is a made up answer. There's nothing to indicate that any being caused this. There is plenty of evidence to indicate that beings come to be through a gradual evolutionary process, like we did.

Ah, I see. Mr. Wizard created everything. Or to you of this generation, Beakman did it! And he did it in less then a 10 minute segement, because that's all CBS allows per segement!
What most don't know or don't bother to state is that Big Explsion was delinated and explained mathamatically, including the presence of gamma rays, by a Jesuit Catholic Priest in good standing with the Catholic Church, who also happened to be a physicist.
The Science community dragged there feet on in and held with the Steady State theory, because it seemed too close to Genesis in the Bible.
Dark void, flash of light, planets forming, day and night begining, waters receeding.
Sounded too much like Genesis, but the math was there so they had to accept it.
So everyone, that's it. According to a Catholic Priest we all live on Beakman's World.
And by the way, throughout 13+ years of school including reading works by Dr. Fred Hoyle I was told there were 9 planets and Pluton was one of them.
Well, that's science for you. Gone today, here yesterday!

>> and dont say out of a big explosion
... it was a big explosion.

First, the biggest evidence for a "Big Bang" is the Cosmic Background Radiation (CMB) ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_background_radiation ). This is the remnant microwave radiation from the edges of the universe that has decayed over time. You'll need some physics to do the math to prove it to yourself, but trust me, people have done the math.
Next, how do we know the universe is expanding? Well, this one's pretty clever. What we can do is take a sample of a star's light. We then break it out using spectroscopy ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectroscopy) and Fraunhofer Lines ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraunhofer_lines ) to determine which elements compose the atmosphere of the star (typically large amounts of hydrogen). We know what these are because certain elements have specific Fraunhofer Lines, so we know what the star is made of. Good? Good.
Now, when we take a look at these lines, we notice something - they're not quite at the frequency we expect them at - they've been shifted! Why would that be? Well, our good friend Doppler can tell us - as an object moves, it causes the waves coming out from it to expand or contract. (Much like a car has a different pitch from its motor as it approaches you, then it does when it moves away from you.) This is formally called the Doppler Effect ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_effect ). So, which way do these lines go? Well, we notice that all of them are red shifted ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redshift ). This means that the waves are getting longer - i.e. moving away from us! So every star in the universe is moving away at a rapid pace - as if they were all on the surface of a balloon and we were in the center. That's how we know the universe is expanding.

>> who created the earth?
Not who -- what. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth#History )
Earth is believed to have formed around 4.57 billion years ago out of the solar nebula, along with the Sun and the other planets. Initially molten, the outer layer of the planet cooled when water began accumulating in the atmosphere when the planet was about half its current radius, resulting in the solid crust. The moon formed soon afterwards, possibly as the result of the impact with a Mars-sized object known as Theia. Outgassing and volcanic activity produced the primordial atmosphere; condensing water vapor, augmented by ice delivered by comets, produced the oceans.[6] The highly energetic chemistry is believed to have produced a self-replicating molecule around 4 billion years ago, and half a billion years later, the last common ancestor of all life lived.[7]

You'll notice the last part is how we get to your other question:
>> how did we exist
Well, as confirmed by the Miller-Urey experiment ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller-Urey ), all it takes is some simple gases and electric current to produce organic compounds, to create life. So, when the earht formed, it had those gases, there was static electricity build-up in the forming atmosphere (much like we see lightning today!) and zapped the compounds into existence. Evolution took over from there:

You're wrong - the Bible doesn't tell anything. It missed the dinosaurs! How could a god inspired book forget dinosaurs?! Did god just forget about them 65 million years ago?!
I rest my case.

The concept of god and its associated creation myths have been protected and defended by believers who need these ideas to justify their existence and usefulness to human society.All the believers claim to have received their respective scriptures as revelation;in other words,yhey all profess to come directly from one god.Each god-religion claims that is stands for universal peace and universal brotherhood and other such high ideals.
Howerver great the ideals of the religions might be,the history of the world shows that some religions have also helped in spreading superstitions.Some have stood against science and the advancement of knowledge,leading to ill-feelings,murders and wars.In this respect,the god-religiona have failed in their attempt to enlighten mankind.The time has come for them to realise that the path of real purification is through love,compassion and understanding.
God-religion offer no salvation without god.Thus a person might have the hightest virtue,yet that person is to be condemned to eternal hell just because he or she did not believe in the existence of the god of a particular group.On the hand,a person might have sinned deeply and yet,having made a late repentance ,that person can be forgiven and therefore saved.There is no justification in this kind of teaching.

It takes millions upon millions of years for some of the light coming from space to reach us. All you need do is look through a very powerful telescope to peer back into time and see what happened. Apparently black holes look like the true creators of life, it seems that every galaxy has one in the center of it, and with out it's gravity the planets and stars could not have formed. Not very many people have access to these high powered telescopes, so if you have not looked through one, then I can see why you subscribe to your beliefs. Remember peering into space is like looking back in time, the farther you look into space the farther back in time you look, there would be no logical reason for scientist to make this stuff up, they are intelligent to know that some day everyone will have access to this type of technology.

Excuse me? No proof?
Why is all, I repeat ALL the visible matter flying away from a central point in space…….like the bloom flying away from fireworks when they explode?
All you have is a book written by people who would not have know what a star was if they had fallen into one. A book, by the way, with a talking snake, a man living in the digestive tract of a whale, a talking bush that was on fire, a man who fit two of every animal in the world in a box, etc...
You will excuse me if I believe the observable proof and the disciplines that brought us vaccines, computers, flight, refrigeration, cars, mobile phones, heating and air-conditioning for our homes, etc… as opposed to a book of myths that gave us Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

I bet your hard evidence is a very old set of books, more being found every day, which contradicts itself forwards and backwards, tells of an all loving God and then lists the exceptions, has been the cause of horrific, bloody wars, and the justification for sickening actions throughout history. And God did nothing about it. If there is a God, my esteem for him is very low.
We can prove the creations of the sun, the moon, and the earth. We know how that happened and we are learning more every day through science and the great human mind. Just because nature is awesome does not mean there is a great creature behind it all. It’s nature, it happens of its own evolution.

First, I would take this question a little more seriously if you knew how to spell bible. Second, where is your empirical evidence of your god? Third, there is more evidence of evolution. And last, I do not concern myself with how we got here. It will not be solved in our lifetimes, so why worry?
But if your bibke tells you you are right........

Why are so sure you are right..because it's in the bible? Maybe you are wrong, and those of us who believe in science and nature are right. Just because you believe something does not make you CORRECT. Are Christians right? How 'bout Muslims? Jews? Mormans? Buddists? Scientologists? Wikkans? Athiests? Agnostic? Druids? Get the picture...

I will answer an question that an Atheist will ask in response to your Question:
God exists in Eternity, He was always in existence, He had no creation, he has and will always be.
Now
It is easier or so it seems.. for an Atheist to believe that a "Big Bang" just took place and came out of nowhere from the "nothingness" Which is ludicrous, than for him/her to believe that God created the Universe. Strange
