The Big Bang didn't create anything other than pure energy. Much later, from that energy came the first atoms, then molecules, and then hydrogen. From that hydrogen all the first stars formed. Those first stars are long dead, but the elements they "cooked" up in their interiors spread throughout the universe, causing new stars, planets, people, etc., to be formed.
By the way...people always talk about the Big Bang as though it happened billions of years ago. Not so..! The Big Bang continues to this day, and will do so indefinitely.

The "big bang" that started the universe was about 13.8 billion years ago. The sun was created out of a disk of dust and gas about 5 billion years ago.
The big bang got everything started - it caused hydrogen, some helium and a little lithium to form in space.
The first generation of stars were massive, and when they exploded in supernova they created all the elements more complex than these first 3.
The next generations of stars incorporated these heavier elements into themselves and their planets.
The sun is likely a 3rd or 4th generation star.
So since without the big bang there would be nothing, I guess you could say that the big bang made the sun (indirectly and about 8 billion years after).

The big bang is still considered by some to be a theory, but the theory says that the big bang created all the matter in our universe. So, it created everything, all the suns.

The Big Bang made all the matter that is in the universe now. The gravitational collapse of this matter made trillions of suns. So I would say the second half of your question would be more correct.

The first stars did not form until 100's of millions of years after the big bang; maybe 200 or 400 million years.

big bang only created subatomic particles, out of which hydrogen and helium plasma formed. and a miniscule amount of lithium. these neclei eventually gained electrons and became proper gases. they cooled to near absolute zero and formed molecular hydrogen clouds which condensed, due to gravity, into stars where the hydrogen fused into helium and helium fused into carbaon and so forth. this gave us the heavier elements. these stars died. they redistributed their elements into space to form another set of stars. several sets later the sun formed with about 2% heavy elements and 98% hydrogen and helium.
god may have started the big bang, there is no scientific way to say he didnt...but the rest is probaly phsics and chemsitry.

the big bang started from superdense material crammed in the size of an atom. suddenly it exploded shooting hot debris everywhere. The gaseous dusty hot material then started clumping, and clumping and clumping, enough clumping caused a pressure explosion, making stars. billions of trillions of stars.

It didn't. We were meant to believe this, but God made the Sun and Earth. Nothing comes close to the truth about planets.
