Assuming for arguments sake that there is no God and going on the most scientifically rational theory for the origin of the universe that we know and can perceive - the big bang - I think the question is loaded.
When you ask 'who' made the big bang, the question already assumes a creator entity of some kind - it assumes there is a 'who'. Perhaps there is but perhaps there isn't a 'who'.
How can one answer the question as intended (I think) when the asker has already framed the answer? Perhaps the right answer doesn't fit into that frame.
When talking about 'who made the gases' it also implies a cause and effect nature to your question. If the big bang was the beginning of time and space, the nature of cause and effect are irrelevant - there was no 'before' the big bang - time itself didn't exist until the moment the big bang happened.
The big bang was the moment that cause and effect started - there was no cause of the big bang (as far as we can observationally and experimentally prove) as there was nothing to act and no 'before' where action could have an effect.
In my mind, the only way to resolve the paradox is to consider the universe and God to be one in the same. Can God make a rock so heavy even God can't lift it? Sure - God IS the rock.
Perhaps the big bang was the physical manifestation of the beginning of the consciousness and will we call God.

Remember most of this is theory, there is no actual proof to the Big Bang Theory, but it's very drawn to because of stellar information. Even Hawking will say that a supreme being / entity would have been needed to set it all in motion.
The next most important thing to remember is - because we have Science and because the formation of the universe had to be very precise, does not mean there is not a God. If you take into consideration a lot of the universe is created from cosmic dust and according the Bible man was created from dust, then who is to say that 13-14 billion years of creation was not needed. Considering a few million years to humans is like a few weeks to the universe.
It is very hard to say why our reality consist of atoms that form the basic building blocks of all matter. Why a singularity existed in the first place.
There is no proof that the universe collapses back on it's self at any point. Everything is moving away from each other and billions of years from now the gravitational effects will be very little on these galaxies. I guess you could hypothesize that galactic black holes eventually draw to one another, or one absorbs enough galaxies, neutron stars, etc to hence reform a singularity and BAM all other matter is destroyed and a new space time continuum occurs. But that is my new speculation!
It's hard for me to not believe their is a God when human nature, emotions, conscious exist. I also have a hard time believing most theories behind evolution. There is not enough known and we do not know what effects imbreeding may have been for humans in places that were sparsely populated few million years ago (if we evolved from the fossils of the upright beings found and if there were not just imbreeds), or even 100,000 years ago. But we know where we are today and a brief history of human nature over the past few thousand years. Considering the short amount we have observed and calculated, we have a long way to go if mankind gets the chance to last long enough without a big catasphrophie!

Scientists believe that this universe is actually just another one in a long line. What they think happens is that after a Big Bang, the universe expands, then once it slows down, the amount of gravity it has made sucks it back in again and makes a "Big Crunch". Everything is stuck inside about the space of a mile, and it only stays that small for about a millisecond. If that. Then it just goes BANG! again and the cycle continues. If this is true... then when did the first big bang happen?! Also, it wasnt caused by gases, gases were made by the explosion, they were not the cause.

It's not very hard to come to a logical conclusion here, but many humans are opposed to logic that defies the limitations we put on existence. The obvious conclusion is that the universe is both infinite and eternal. It's infinite in that its boundaries and the mechanisms by which it is propagated and maintained are undefineable , at least by current physical methods. It's easy to recognize this fact based on the countless theories, and, more notably, anomalies that dominate the area of astrophysics. In short, it's like trying to define a mathematical formula that's undefineable. The universe is also eternal. For example: even if there WAS a big bang , and the known universe began, the matter that existed before the big bang would have to have been considered the known universe. In this case, the big bang would not be the starting point of the universe; rather, it would simply be another point in the cycle of endless regeneration of the universe, based on the fact that such matter already existed to cause the big bang reaction. Here's the part that presents such a huge problem: mankind can't truly understand the ideas of eternity and infinity, so sceince attempts to explain the universe in terms that it understands. In short, both the science and mathematics behind the laws of the universe are far too advanced for mankind to understand it as a whole, at least for now. In the future, countless theories will be disproven by new discoveries, only to lead to new, revised theories, and so on.

Nobody made the 'big bang', It is impossible to even be sure such an event took place, it is a theory currently considered to explain the existence of the universe. There is one thing that is not in dispute in my mind, that things were not made by some 'higher' being. Ask yourself this question, where did your god come from? Did some higher being make god? You see your question is not what you may think it is, it causes a circular argument. Did a big bang create a bunch of gods? You should check out some of the religious ideas from way back, such as the greek or roman gods and how they are supposed to have come into existence. One thing you should consider is ancient people did not have scientific understanding, they wanted explanation of how the world worked and created gods. That is why I say, man created god in his own image. There is still far more we do not understand than what we do.
all gods goddesses etc are a product of mans imagination.

There are those who believe in the oscillation universe theory which says that the universe expands and then collapses in on itself. At the point of collapse, what is created is called a singularity where all the laws and forces of physics break down. The slate is wiped clean and it is from this point that a new big bang takes place and a new universe is formed. The whole process then repeats itself.
But none of the above really answers the question does it? If you believe in God then you don’t really need to look as far as the whole universe to know that he exists. God is about faith and not proof.
Maybe the universe is God...

The argument for the existance of metaphysical entities such as God(s) from first causes is reasonably persuasive and has a long history in western philosophy. Of course, it rather begs the question "who created God?". It is sometimes countered that God by His/its very essence did not have a creator. Bertrand Russell in "Why I am not a Christian" noted, and I paraphrase, that if you are going to arbitrarily attribute the quality of not needing a creator to an abstraction such as a God you may as well apply it to the universe as a whole. Russell, however, like his contemporaries Popper and Wittgenstein, broked very little in the way of metaphysics.
Since the Middle Ages - and enhanced by Descarthes - ontological arguments have superceded arguments from first causes although they have not been widely in fashion since Kant.
The most useful modern argument for the existance of a God is the modal ontological argument which rests on two premises: a) that there might be a God, b) that necessarily if there is God, God must necessarily exist (i.e. it must be essential and not just contingent). From premise "a" we deduce that in at least one potential universe there is a God and thus from "b" we see that it must by necessity apply to all potential universes - ergo, God must exist. The flaw lies in premise "a" which again begs a question - can we use the possibility of a God within an attempted proof with hitherto no formal evidence of existance.

Nobody knows for sure, as many have said before me, but here are some theories:
1. The universe is oscillating: it goes BANG!, it expands, then stops, then starts to contract, until it finally goes CRASH! Then it goes BANG! again... This means our universe came from the one before as that came from the one before, and so on, and so forth, ad infinitum.
2. It was a spontaneous(did I spell that right?) event, with no apparrent cause.
3. The vibrational state of a single super-string reached a critical level, at which point it fragmented into many smaller strings, creating all the elementary particles in the universe, with the resulting energy discharge creting the Big Bang.
I hope that satisfies at least some of your curiosity...:)

The big bang happened when god spoke. Everyone knows that. God said, "Let there be light." That was the big bang! The bible is not meant to be taken literally. Everything in the bible can be explained by science mostly. For example Noah and the great flood. If god spoke to Noah(who lived in the black sea era befrore the Bosphorus broke up) and he built a huge ark. And the Bosphorus broke up during a great flood. Where do you think those millions(billions) of gallons would have pushed the ark except up on the side of Mt. Ararat? Science will never find a missing link. One day while a primitive man was walking a long, a man came up and kissed him. The primitive man's eyes became clear and bright with a soul. The man's mate came up and the other man held the mate's hand and her eyes became clear and bright. They all three embraced and god named them Adam and Eve.

Science is not infallible. There are loopholes in many of its theories, including the Big Bang. Creationists would often ask that question to prove the existence of a creator. However, the fact is that no one knows for sure. No one KNOWS that there is a god, no one KNOWS that there was a Big Bang. There really is no answer because, no matter how far you go back, you will always be able to ask "Where did THAT come from?".
