If so, this would answer Scientist and Christians questions about creation.

Some Christians who are scientists believe that is how things got started, but reject the teaching of evolution as an explanation of the origin of life.

It would be possible if the universe needed creating in the first place... and if "God" was a real entity, but neither of these things are likely.
The big bang had to have something to "bang around" in the first place and that stuff was the same ole stuff we find all around us today: matter, energy and space. The universe has probably experienced billions of "bangs" and will likely experience billions and billions more. It's the thing that's infinite - the thing that always was and always will be....
Now ole "God" hasn't made much of an appearance anywhere, has he... and think about it... you can't get something out of nothing, and that's a fact. So let's face it... "God" is just an idea, (and a rather silly one, too.) The idea of "God" was invented and dreamed-up by man to serve his own purpose. There's really nothing believable about "God" - nothing in the least - and if you'll consider the concept honestly and methodically, you'll come to the same conclusion.
So... about your convenient little presumption: I'd say the idea just doesn't hold water. Sorry.

No.
That's because the Big Bang theory does not include provisions for a God having caused it. There is one physicist who has written a book claiming such, but he is not by any means respected for this work.
If God began in this way, then it also seems that he is continuing to do so in laboratories where scientists are finding a possible continuation of the process. Particles along with anti-particles may suddenly appear spontaneously. This defies no scientific principles as the net gain of energy in the universe is zero. Still, it may be mathematically explained without the necessity of turning to a creator.

It's possible yes. In fact it's the notion I agree with most.
Religion has always been the one to explain why whilst science says how and yes there is the whole god of the gaps theory where religion fills in the bits science can't explain. Isn't that human nature though. We have to know how things work and why so we just keep searching till we find the answer.

Since I first started using this site, every week I see several postings by theists attacking evolution, or trying to include creation into it in some absurd way such as you have.
I think you are missing the obvious point, as an atheist I don"t accept a sky-daddy as real. Some of us see no evidence for it"s existence, some see evidence for it"s non existence. Either way no god means no creation/designer, therefore no creation.
No supernatural creation means that the universe and everything in it had to come into being and develop by natural means.

No. You don't need a God to explain the Universe. I believe that the Big Bang start with the end of another Universe. Remember that the Universe is finite and the matter can't be created, only transformed.

Sure, nothing is impossible for God. I've even come close to the intelligent design theory - not that he designed apes to evolve into humans, but that animals can adapt to their environment without completely changing species - yeah, that's possible. God only knows...literally. Since not even the scientists can agree, I'll stick with the oldest recorded and unchanging account though.

in genesis 1, God created the earth before the sun and stars. the big bang theory requires it to be the other way around. in genesis 1, God creates the earth, sun, moon, stars, plant life, animal life, and mankind in a span of six 24-hour days. the big bang theory requires billions of years. in genesis 1, God created all matter by his spoken word. the big bang theory begins with matter already in existence and never explains the initial source or cause of matter
in the bible, God is eternal and the matter and the universe are not. there are different versions of the big bang theory, but in most of them the universe and/or matter is eternal. in genesis 1, the existence of God is assumed, "in the beginning God..." the true purpose of the big bang theory is to deny his existence. we can accept certain aspects of the big bang theory - but the theory itself is entirely atheistic.

Possible, but
a) if you can explain the rest of the universe in natural terms then why suddenly assume a supernatural being that sparked it all?
b) where has this god since gone, a supernatural being would be very self-evident in this natural universe, yet gods seem to be strangely elusive?
c) by this point we are quite far from the christian definition of God anyway (I mean the 'classic' bible god).

Of course there is the possibility of a higher power ultimately creating the universe. But, that will be a very difficult thing to prove.
