Ok.
Now, let's suppose the Big Bang Theory is correct. Let's also suppose that evolution is correct.
the big bang theory says that some kind of mass started spinning and exploded to form today's planets.
Where did that mass come from? How did it get here? ... Can you imagine NOTHING... Nothing at all? NOTHING?... not even the color black, not even space itself?
That's my arguement. There has to be a creator for things that are created. If the big-bang theory is correct and you believe in it, then your Creator is a spinning sum of mass.
Try that... just try to comprehend... nothing. Absolutely nothing. How is that possible? ...I can't stop thinking about it. It's downright scary. If there's not a Creator, what made the things that make us? What made that microscopic cell that supposedly became humanity?... It just blows me away. I guess that's how uncomrehendible God is.

As a christian, I know there is a god. I know he has eternal love, but I don't know the limits of eternity. The aren't limits. My finite mind can't comprehend it.
Many people, as athiests, believe in the big bang theory (or other theories)... they know there was a large spinning mass.. but not how big it was. It was huge, probably incomprehendible. Erternal, if you will.
That's where, this popular bumper sticker comes from:
The Big Bang Theory:
God spoke, and BANG! It happened.

Not everything needs a "creator" Just think about how random everything just on this planet is. You only believe there must be a creator well because your finite mind can not imagine random chaos and all it's possibilities we are but mere specks in time & space with no purpose
You are right in one statement here
how incomprehensible God is. So what makes you so sure we got any of it right?

Humans can't comprehend nothing, nor can we comprehend a drawing of a 700,000 sided object. That doesn't mean that we couldn't get a computer to produce such a thing, it merely means that there are limits to our ability to imagine certain things.
To make the leap that since we are limited in our conceptual skills, then there must be a "god", doesn't make sense.
Nobody could imagine infection control in the 5th century, but now it's a reality that we live, and work, with every day.

Check again hun. Modern Big Bang theory does not suppose the singularity construct any longer. It started simply with a quantum ripple on a quantum field (the inflaton) that under the theories of quantum physics must itself be eternal even though the visible universe is finite and has a beginning.
There was no spinning mass.

Don't know if this is relevant but I wonder why people assume the default is 'nothing' as if the natural order is for emptiness to exist from the start
Maybe the default state is the opposite, that 'something' exists and emptiness, like the emptiness of space is a bubble for life to exist in? I don't think this idea goes against big bang or theism really, but I wonder why ppl think nothing is more natural than something

Where did God come from? They are both equally frustrating questions. The fact that you are asking this question gives me the impression that you are not so confident in your decision to trust God's "will". If you were, you would believe solely in your faith and thus would not have a need to ask us questions about why we believe matter just appeared out of nowhere. Why don't you start helping out with the search for truth, instead of stalling like the rest of your religious friends.

Saint Thomas Aquinas originated the theory of primary mover. No matter what "gases" were around before the big bang there had to be movement to mix them.

"Where did that mass come from? How did it get here? ... Can you imagine NOTHING... Nothing at all? NOTHING?... not even the color black, not even space itself?"
What if it's always been here?
"There has to be a creator for things that are created."
Then what created the creator?

The point is that there was never a time when there was nothing. There was always something. That's where your argument falls apart. You invent a time that there was nothing and explain it using god.
Such a time never existed.

I find it hard to answer any question serious about something being "incomprehendible"
