God caused the Big Bang

At its heart, the scientific (by that I mean, strictly non-religious) theory of life's origins is called Abiogenesis. This is the process by which non-living elements combined to form living organisms which then over time evolved into what we see today. There are problems with this theory, not the least of which is the inability to duplicate it in the laboratory. We can make amino acids, but we cannot combine them into protiens, form organelles, or a single cell. Below is a very well footnoted essay on the subject.
In my opinion, I do not think the Big Bang (or any other scientific origins theory for that matter) is in opposition to the notion that God created the universe. Science merely tells us how God did it. Also, let us consider the fact that everything that has a beginning has a causal event; something happened to make something else happen. The origins of the universe are no different. We know from scientific measurements that the universe has a finite age and a beginning. So what was the causal event that sparked the Big Bang? In my mind, that could only be somethnig which is outside of the time and space dimensions. That something is God.

the bib bang was mentioned in the Quran almost 1500 years ago and because the Quran from God then he knows how the universe was created (Do the unbelievers not realize that the heavens and the earth used to be one solid mass that we exploded into existence? And from water we made all living things. Would they believe? )
The Qur'an 21:30
(He created seven universes in layers. You do not see any imperfection in the creation by the Most Gracious. Keep looking; do you see any flaw? Look again and again; your eyes will come back stumped and conquered).
The Qur'an 67:34

Life obviously came about in a way we are yet to comprehend. I cannot choose between the two popular theory's you have set in your question, One based on religious belief and the other on mathematics and scientific observation. God said let there be light and Bang! Both theory's are allot alike in many ways. Why would you even think life started at all. I think, why not assume life has always been and simply moved from one shape, form or place to the other.

The Big Bang has very little to do with the origin of life, at least not directly.
I personally believe the universe is seeded with the necessary materials for life, and the formation of life is part of a natural process that isn't unique to Earth.
However, I also believe that it's possible that other entities who beat us to the evolutionary punch may have "assisted" our development. Even evolution doesn't rule that scenario out.

Well first off I am not Christian...
I do not see, even from a Christian view, why the big bang, evolution and creationism couldn't all go hand in hand. If you believe in God...perhaps God set things into motion through these things. It's silly to think that they conflict. Why can't evolution be the method by which the Christian God went about creating life?

Big bang has nothing to do with the rise of life itself.
Big bang occured, that is a fact corrborated by numerous scientific disciplines.
What caused the big-bang is unknown.
Anyone who said it is impossible certainly has no understanding of the theory, and has never researched the current proof of its occurence.

You actually have to ask that and expect me to teach you science that would take years to explain... and do it in one post?
Honestly, if you don't understand the Big Bang, or why so many people believe it, by now you're never going to.
High school should have taught you what it is and how it came about. If it didn't, thats your problem and you need to go to college for a while.

The Big Bang. It's unknown what happened before that or where that came from...but I have the same skepticism about this God person. Frankly, it doesn't really matter that much to me. You can logically trace everything back to the Big Bang though. It makes more sense.

Big bang from natural causes.
Looking out at the vastness of the universe, it really doesn't make any sense to me to think that I'm special in some way, that I was created by something. I don't feel the need to be special.
