Well i'll answer one part of your question. If the big bang occured where did it occur?
One large misconception about the "Big Bang" is that the universe was a huge empty space except for a ton of matter concenced into a ball and then it just exploded.
At the point in time (time being loosely used here) when the big bang occured there was no space. EVERYTHING was created in the big bang. Not only was matter throw out, but also space and time itself was also created. So the question of "where" this occured is rather meaningless as there was no "where" because there was no space. The only thing that existed in those milliseconeds before the bang was a single singularity.

In a religious/scientific tone:
God essentially created himself.. but more simply speaking he always existed (atleast as long as there has been existence at all). Many people regard god to be less of a being and more an event. God was that event which set in motion the process which lead to creation.
More Scientific tone:
Another question one might ask was, say if god doesn't exist, still, what created the universe or the singularity which caused the big bang.. again, it must have always existed or it created itself.
There is a theory out called "String theory" or M-theory to others, which might help explain the phenomenon of the big bang. Part of this theory states that there are a large number of universes, or rather, parallel (dimensions) universes that are wobbling and every time these universes collide, it creates an explosion which resembles that of the big bang. Research has found that most (if not all) galaxies have black holes in their centers. That when entire galaxies are eventually sucked into these super massive black holes, and a parallel universe collides with ours, these tiny singularities are bursted and matter is spread throughout the Universe at unimaginable speed/force.

You must have read my mind. I was just going to ask that question but thanks. I have been wondering and searching for a satisfying answer to that since I was about 8 or so. The funny thing is I kinda feel that no-one will or can come up with the kind of answer you are hoping to get out of this. But you are still curious , I am too. Well I should probably say that I have been lately thinking that maybe it is possible for matter to come into being without anything non-physical creating it (I'm talking organic materials like one celled organisms, bacteria and etc.) Also gases and energy is and should or could have existed the same way with no initial beginning. After all, I have to admit that it is very uncomfortably nice to figure that humans are unable to fully explain the true origins of life (the whole universe for example ).

The problem with asking a question like this (what happened before this and before that, etc...) is that it is bound within the confines of the "time" concept. If we accept the general notion of time then we can say that event A occurred before event B, but we can never really say that there was ever a real, absolute beginning since the arrow of time would be infinite in either direction. I believe that one must look at a "timeless" existence to understand things. All things merely are, and all possible configurations of matter/energy in existence exist simultaneously as discrete frames of reference. Julian Barbour calls them "Nows". Our perception of time is merely an illusion based on the fact that we remember what the universe looked like yesterday, a second ago, or years ago. Our history through this infinite "landscape of possibilities" merely traces a line that tends to be mathematically probable. The illusion of this "direction" of time is useful to us however in that it gives us a sense of purpose and experience. We cherish things now because we believe we will eventually lose everything. Religion and other forms of faith (even including science) gives us the reassurance that despite our inevitable death we as entities will never truly disappear because of this timelessness. Whatever that experience is like we cannot fathom right now, that is, if it is even an "experience" that is comparable to the meaning of the word that we use today.

That is really a religion question. If the universe had to be created by God, why didn't God have to be created? If God has just always existed, why couldn't the universe just have always existed too, or why did God wait all alone in nothingness for infinitely long before creating the universe a finite time ago.
As I say, it is religion, not astronomy.

The big bang created the universe and man created god.

Fantastic question .
Actually god is there or not know one knows.Scientifically if we think any thing we consider that god does not exist
this big bank theory states that universe is exapnding and will be on

The bang is still occurring, it happened all over. The space has been expanding ever since. There is no god.

Your questioning negates God. It is alright for me..
Now you answer my question:
Would you believe in God in the same way you did now, if he really existed.
