KEEP IN MIND: The current universe and its laws are a product of the big bang. Before the big bang, it is entirely possible that the universe had existed in another shape, way, or form; eternally.
And wouldn't it make more sense that the universe is step one instead of step one being a god that is more complex than the universe itself?

God is faith, you don't have to explain, you just believe. I'm not a christian but that's about it. A round earth or an expanding universe doesn't disprove belief.

Well, sure. The universe is a wonderful system and it is in constant flux. There are many different theories stating that the universe is expanding..until a finite point, then it will implode on itself again...then it will again begin to expand once again (another Big Bang).
What you are talking about is the temporal (in time) existence of the physical or the knowable world. Heidegger wrote and interesting thesis on time (concepts of time...you can pick up a translation for about 12 bucks at a bookstore).
The physical world is found within time, and we are all aware time is relative...sometimes crawls/sometimes it flies); yet, you are making reference to something outside of time, God, which is atemporal.
You do not have to be Christian to believe in an energy beyond the living (temporal) realm...most cultures have an idea of ghosts, spirits, divinity, and nether-realms. This shows man's innate belief in existence beyond time...outside of what is perceivable to the human intellect.
God, the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end is outside of time...is Word beyond the Middle, where we find ourselves. So...the passing of the universe may be an event for us...making us question, but we cannot know the answers from the middle, because we cannot know the beginning or the end...however the ineffable creative power of the universe has already seen it all...the birth and death of the universe eons upon eons in succession.
God, by whatever name you will call the force behind creation, simply IS...While we, and the rest of the universe are in a linear progression of becomming something else.

This is the secret things that God only knows. If the universe exist without the creator,
1. Can the universe control themselves?
2. Do they have self-control? So much so that they will not crush to each other.
3. Why is it that the planet evolved around the sun without entanglement from each other.
Yes, God has a beginning, from where, we do not know. It is only him who can answer this things. He created the universe for his own sole purposes.
Whatever God does, he has the sole controllership of everything he does either Human or the material universe.

First: The "Big Bang" is only a theory. There is absolutely no physical or scientific proof that creation of the universe occurred in this manner. There is also no physical or scientific proof that it was all created by God. Thus: FAITH. However, it is inconceivable to me that all of "this" could have happened by chance. There is too much order and organization to it all to have happened by chance. Without control, you get chaos.
I personally believe that all this was created by God (however anyone perceives Him.) And as God, He created the "laws" that you speak of. Then he stayed within those "laws" during the creation.

Can a painting exist without a painter? And must that painter be painted before he/she is able to paint?
Better yet, can a musical composition exist without a composer? And must that composer be musically composed before he/she can compose?
That creatures (humans, in this case) are incapable of comprehending a Creator with no beginning and no end is logical. The physical world gives a multitude of examples.

Cute question... I don't get how an "accident" can be so complex, I wish my kitchen would experience "a big bang" without creating extra mess, putting the dishes away cleaner than they come out...
Why hasn't anything like the big bang happened since it happened to create the world, when clearly there now more particules to create bigger and better stuff?
God is not something your mind can concieve, He is much bigger than the constructs of a labrotory, of time, of space.
God is infinite, infallible and undeniably the CREATOR of the earth. The earth is marked with His fingerprints, He still is active today, and i can see that it is the creators power...

Thermodynamics and all laws of science prove the Big Bang and evolution to be false. Humanists try to deny that there is a creator. Science however does not.

"Rigveda" oldest Hindu Religious scripture declares:
"Who verily knows and who can here declare it, whence it was born and whence comes this creation? The Gods are later than the world's production. Who knows then whence it first came into being?"
The Rigveda: Book 10: Hymn CXXIX (6) Creation.

in the words of the late william s burroughs.... "consider the impasse of a one god universe/he can't go anywhere since he is already everywhere/he can't do anything because the act of doing presupposes opposition..."
