Believe or not to believe is not in the hands of human beings... we simply abide by the dictates of God Almighty. If we think that the life of a bacterium in our body carries any meaning... we need believe in the concept of big bang. If a bacterium in our body thinks its life is the end of all... then the whole cosmic concept becomes an illusion! How?
We all know the life of a bacterium in our body carries no meaning... any relative meaning in our life! Similar as... the life of a human being carries no meaning for God Almighty... the larger being that manifests the whole Cosmos. Everything in the cosmic system is relative. For a mystic like Adi Shankaracharya the whole cosmic system is an illusion! Nothing except the entity of God Almighty is the real truth.
This concept has been explained by Adi Shankaracharya through the doctrine of Maya (veil of ignorance). According to Adi Shankaracharya... the world is an illusion as the Cosmos does not seem to have boundary. If we consider it has... then what beyond! And if the Cosmos itself does not seem to exist... all that we see with the limited power of our senses is an illusion... a cosmic illusion... a veil of ignorance... a veil of Maya!
This is primarily a spiritual concept... the absolute reality! Most human beings engrossed in wanton desires and materialistic reaches do not understand this concept. They believe in things physical... everything perceived through senses and the mind. And viewed from the limited power of the senses... the concept of big bang definitely exists. And what is big bang?
At the time of dissolution of the Cosmos... the previous Cosmos... the whole Cosmos reduces to the size of half a thumb as all souls’ atmans in the Cosmos reach the last leg of cosmic life... the 8.4 millionth manifestation. Having regained their original pure pristine form... this cluster of purified souls' atmans by volume takes half the size of a thumb.
This pure cluster of energy... unable to contain itself for long in its purified state explodes with a big bang giving rise to a new cosmos... a new cosmic journey! And what is the Cosmos itself? The whole Cosmos is nothing but a gaseous cluster of atoms and molecules. Only when perceived from the senses point of view... we see the hard formations... the forms? When perceived from the cosmic point of view... it is all pure gaseous matter.
From the spiritual point of view... the whole cosmic system is the work of Maya (veil of illusion)... but from the physical senses point of view the present Cosmos shall exist until the dissolution of the Cosmos occurs. Not beyond! Thereafter it shall be new cosmos... a new cosmic journey! More on Big Bang theory - http://www.godrealized.com/bigbangtheory.html

Personally I don't believe in the Big Bang theory. The Bible speaks of the early universe in Genesis 1:2 as being more of a liquid or watery. There was a discovery made by scientists recently that may back this up. They were trying to discover the conditions of the early universe by smashing particles in a particle collider. They expected the particles to act like the conditions believed to have happened in the Big Bang by having a fiery gas explosion of particles. When they did the experiment they got a very different result. The particles squirted like a liquid. In fact the matter created was being called by the scientists "the perfect liquid" due to it's viscosity. They are already saying that they may have to rethink their theories of the universe. After all, this is saying the universe had a liquid start. The Bible alluded to this over 3000 years ago. Makes you think about other things mentioned in it. The web site to the article could give you more info on the experiment and the results.

We're certain about the expansion of the universe from a very tiny dense point, back to the fraction of time called Planck's time (a very small fraction of a second). The Big Bang, then, is a logical extrapolation. And science tells us that contraction is next. We can't say anything about 'before' but some speculate that there is an endless/beginningless cycle of universe creation/destruction.

There is a theory that says the universe will continue to expand for a few billion more years then stop and begin to contract. It will contract over several billion more years until another big bang occurs and the cycle begins all over.

I believe in a higher power named God he created us from his image and created this world for us to live in...He is a awesome god he gave us free will and love from him.He gave us his word to live by or guidelines not some big bang! If the big bang was true then where did the molecules for the stuff to explode come from???

An eternal universe? Stars and planets existing without ever having come into existence?? Sorry, I'm a bit to scientific for that. In science, that which exists must have had an origin, and that which happens must have had a cause. Causality is the most fundamental premise of scientific investigation.

No. Although big bang is a popular supposition, it has trouble with at least one working law (conservation of angular momentum).
But, so far, the only other option is creation. The majority of scientist absolutely refuse to even consider it. What a quagmire!

The "Big Bang". God said "Let there be...", and BANG! it was. I do not believe that the universe "always was". God created it 6,000 to 10,000 years ago. I do not know if it "always will be". Only God knows that.

once gravity drags in everything in the universe to one singular point it bursts and recreates. For there to be this point of energy, there must have been energy before to gather there. energy is never created or destroyed. For the big bang to happen, the universe must have all gathered together in one point, and basically imploded.

The universe is just the space that matter occupies, there may be other universes out there that caused this one or has no effect on us at all.
