Since you believe there is not God, where do you think the material came from for your "Big Bang"?

Come on Atheist, I thought you all had it figured out. I didn't say I was trying to prove anything, and simply asking questions back does not let me know what you believe. I really do want you to tell me where that material came from!!!

Many physicists think that it was likely the collision of two massive objects. The universe as we know it might have begun with the destruction of an earlier universe vastly different from ours. But that is at most a guess. Nobody really knows at this point, but we will come to understand more about the origins of our universe in the future.

Not again. Not everyone believes in the Big Bang, or trusts the science derived from it.
And for the billionth time, the Big Bang and Abiogenesis are HYPOTHESIS.
Scientists don't know where the material came from. But they aren't going to do something stupid like say "god did it" just because they don't know.
The difference between Atheists (and Scientists) is that they have the courage to say "I don't know but I'll find out" while the religious say "I know everything because a 2000 year old book written by sheepherders who thought the earth was flat said so" even when they're wrong.
At least scientists will keep looking for the answer. You religious won't.
Edit: Stop the baiting. Its only making you look like a whiney two year old.

Answering a question with a question...
Where did God originate..Did he create hisself? Time and space are two things we as humans cannot phathom. The very thought that space is infinite is hard to grasp...What is the meaning behind this question anyway? Attempting to sway those like us that do not believe in God, or show a point of how there has to be a God?
Also, its not OUR "big bang" theory...Its just a theory in itself...Which to a point does have some backing to it..as part of the big bang is the explosion and everything shooting apart..but as the gravitational center mass still has pull, everything is starting to slowly come back together now..
This question is about as open as an atheist or agnostic asking you "Where did YOUR God come from"...there isnt a proven answer..or there would be no mystery on how we got here and so forth...
This question is weak, and hopefully this isnt a weak attempt to "prove" an unprovable point.

Just because someone is an atheist doesn't mean that they believe in the big bang theory. Just so ya know. I do not consider myself an atheist however I do not believe in God. I do not believe in anything for that matter, so I do think about where the material for the Big Bang Theory came from. Thanks for trying to be-little atheists though, it was a solid attempt.

You are trapped in what is called a "God of the gaps" mentality. Scientists have not said "The Universe was created in a Big Bang" and called it good. They, not entirely unlike you, said "All the evidence points to the Universe beginning in a Big Bang. Hmmm, I wonder what caused it?" and are now seeking the answer to that question. Just because they (and I) don't know doesn't mean that it was some kind of god. "I don't know" is a valid answer in this situation.

The matter in our universe came from the energy of the the Big Bang. That's exactly why Einstein's famous E = mc^2 is so profound.

No one will ever know the answer to the Big Bang. It is a theory anyway.
Now let me ask you this question...why do you care so much about us not believing in gods? Go about your life, believing in what you want to and we will go about our lives, not worrying about it.

I was just at a Steven Hawking lecture where he was talking about how the universe was possibly one of many universes that could have unfolded. Like bubbles forming at the bottom of a not quite boiling pot. We happen to 'inflate' into a full fledged universe... yippeee!
I think in general though, the 'stuff' of the universe always has and always will exist since this is one of the fundamental laws of the universe.
The idea of a 'God' of course breaks many laws found in the universe.

The energy existed exactly before existing relativity.
The energy existed in the Chaos without time, without space and without no type of speed, it was the Chaos but the energy always existed.
Basic laws of the energy:
Energy cannot be created nor destroyed.
Energy can be changedded of an energy form into another one.
Total energy of the Universe not increases nor diminishes only everything is in constant transformation.

Earth (where you live) came out of the "Big Bang." It was not an accident but the beginning of planet earth, where it was possible through evolution for man to be created. Man was given a perfect planet and without God he would not have the brain to understand that now he must save his planet. If not God will say"I tried but now my experiment failed,"
