Point of view: Scientists - The big bang, fits in with a lot of our observations of the universe (not all) and is the best estimate we can make. However there are some holes and the concepts involved in its creatin is beyond the comprehensability of most (if not all)
Point of view of most religions - Some deity created the universe, in some by accident and in some through intent. It nicely explains everything about the universe and allows most to continue their lives in a content way. However it is not very scientific and can be considered 'simplistic' or remnants of a old way of living
Seriously though, we'll never know, we can make assertations and educated guess but to declare one way 100% correct is foolish.

Update: Although we may discover how the universe was created the chances are very small. To create the same conditions would take all the energy in all the universe condensed into the size of a pin prick, something which we will never achieve.

It was created by God.

I don't think science ever claims 100 percent of anything, a hypothesis is tested until it becomes a theory, but a theory is always open to tests to prove it's wrong and possibly be replaced by another theory.
Thats where religious fundamentalists always see loop holes, if it's not 100 percent then it must be wrong in their eyes.
It's stupefying that in the 21st century that creationism has any credibility at all in some people's eyes. Might as well bring back the flat earth idea.

I would agree with you. As a scientist, lawyer and Christian, I file information in different parts of my brain and if I find ideas that mesh with something I have learned in the past, I put them together in my mind. I thoroughly believe that God used natural means to bring about our earth and everything on it. I believe that God knows more than we know and some of those natural means are still beyond our knowledge and understanding. I also believe that when I die and return to God's presence, then I will be able to learn how He did it. Until then, I am content to learn what I can and put ideas together as best as I am able.

The hilarious part is that they have no way to access or use the universe they create. all they can do is watch as it heads away from us at right angles to everything.
Edit, Joseph demonstrates the problem of trying to discuss anything with bible believers. A question is asked regarding cosmology and he is ranting about Darwin and evolution.
The fact is that every field of research proves the bible to be the biggest and oldest pack of fibs and tall tales ever invented. To bad the bible believers are so dangerous in their flight from reality.
Joseph please use spell check to save the few tattered shreds of dugnity you have left.

But if people stop arguing over the theories of creation what will people argue about.
Pointless? No, not pointless. The point has never been the actual answer to the question, but rather the pursuit of the answer, and egotisms opportunity to assert each individual's self-assumed correctness.

The reason for bothering is to understand the mechanisms involved. Such mechanisms may have no immediate practical use, but understanding them may turn up something of immense use. Clearly, supposing that a divine tweak was involved is of no help whatever in attempting to harness whatever forces were involved.

IMHO, I find that it is perfectly fine to say, "I don't know." (shrug)
There is a sort of beauty in not knowing exactly how we got here and that is fine with me. Although, I do believe that science (maybe not in my lifetime) will eventually find the answer. Abiogenesis does seem the most plausible explanation thus far, but not even that is in stone.

I don't believe we'll ever know. I don't believe in the god theory b/c if a god created it, what created the god??? "I know I know, the christians will say...he just was there" but that's crazy talk and just plain ignorance. I am perfectly content not knowing how this world got here.
