Why do atheists think that religeous people don't understand that there was a big bang? Obviously there was, and there is proof of that. Why do atheist beleive that the big bang came from nothing? Where did the matter come from? Why is there a universe at all. The big bang theory does not explain this; all that it explains is that the matter in the universe was condensed into a single point and that it exploded outward. That is not a theory of creation. THE BIG BANG WAS THE EFFECT, NOT THE CAUSE!

Hey True! There is a cause and effect for everything. So I guess those who believe in the big bang theory for the beginning of the world have to come up with the cause.

I wrote a movie script about the Big Crunch (reversed Big Bang), so, yes, I believe in the Big Bang theory. It seems to be the most logical. I had to read some serious science books for my script and I found out that I was not the only one thinking that this Universe is not probably the first one or the last one. After Big Bang, there's a Big Crunch, then another Big Bang ans so on. The question is: will it ever stop? My script had the answer.

As an "non-believer, I don't think religious people in general are confused about the Big Bang theory. The first physics teacher who explained it to me was in fact a religious person. But there are several inconsistencies in what you're stating.
Atheists who know any physics do not believe that "the big bang came from nothing," or that the universe "came from nothing." That, my friend, is what religious people believe.
The fundamental logical flaw in your approach is located in your use of the word "creation." You use it as if it was something you and everyone around you actually understood. But what does it mean? Have you, or anyone you know, any knowledge of an act of "creation?" Do you mean it in the way a watch-maker "creates" a watch? If so, take care you don't create an illusion for yourself. He really only reorganizes existing materials.
So, is your "creation" a process of reorganization? If not, how can you have a "theory of creation" when the term itself is just so much loose talk with no references to anything outside of your imagination? Your whole construct rests on non-existent foundation.

The Big Bang theory eliminated the steady state theory that the universe always existed. That is, there is a beginning to the universe. If that is the case, something outside of the universe had to have created it. You may or may not believe that this outside entity is God, but the Big Bang theory definitely supports, rather than detracts from, the likelihood of a designer of the universe. I recommend Douglas Ell's book Counting to God, for anyone with an open mind. His mathematical analysis ought to appeal to anyone with a scientific mind.

"Why do atheist beleive that the big bang came from nothing?"
I don't believe that.
"Where did the matter come from? Why is there a universe at all"
Don't know, just because we don't know makes a God the only other possibility.
" THE BIG BANG WAS THE EFFECT, NOT THE CAUSE!"
Proof please! None, did not think so. Let me know when that God of Gaps starts having evidence to back it up.

Many of your brothers on this site do not share your point of view which is why you get that from us.
I never said it all came from nothing. I think that matter was always here in some form. Why the universe is here I don't know and neither do you. I am not sure that I see there needs to be a reason and just making up a god to fill that role has no basis in reality.

Maybe ask this in the science question? Or read some books about it? Atheists are just the same as you: most of them are not scientists. But there are scientists who understand the Big Bang who could explain it to you.

Creationists do not believe in the Big Bang because if they did, they would have to believe in a universe that is 13.7 billion years old.
BUT, laughably, they think the universe is 6,000 years old.

Lol. I would recommend you read A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking. It's a good starting point.

Some athiests believe that we were visited thousands of years ago by space aliens and that they built the pyramids.
They say its the only logical explanation as to why there are pyramids in egypt and south america.
