Well, the stuff from the Big Bang may have come from a previous universe that collapsed, then expanded again. Due to the fact that time doesn't exist outside the universe, then why can't the universe be eternal, forever expanding and collapsing? This is one of the arguments that people have for God - he can be eternal, with no beginning or ending, because he is outside of time itself. In that case, if God is allowed to be timeless, why not the universe?
There's also a very new theory (though I don't know how credible/scientifically reviewed it is yet) that our universe was created from the collision and combination of several dimensions. I think this one has something to do with string theory, which requires many dimensions, but I'm not certain.
The problem with your question is that you ruled out the two major answers you'll get these days. So I hope I've made it clear that the stuff from the big bang may just be recycled stuff from a timeless line of universes before ours.
But really, we can never know for certain. It's impossible - it's beyond our scope.

You are asking some good questions. Every culture has a version of creation. Even science. And you hit it on the nail when it comes to the problem in the Big Band theory. Science cannot nor does not even try to answer that question (what came before the big bang / or what made it go big bang).
And there are many creation theories (based on god), but the story of God (the Christian God) is that God is eternal so God was the never created. It may or may not sound logical but the Bible story is not about logic but faith. There are tons of stuff in the Bible that are not meant to be logical (creation of the world, men, all the OTHER miracles, men rising from death, God communing with his people, parting of the seas, the great flood, etc. etc.).
It is like when you ask your BF or GF to have faith in you. If he (or she) say "I will but only if I have proof", then he (she) does have faith in you. So that is the reason why things in the Bible require faith.
Science requires proof.
God (religion) requires faith.

God created the world. Look in the beginning of the bible...It says so too.

I suggest you read A Brief History Of Time by Steven Hawking. You won't get the answer you want but you will get insight as to why it is unknowable. you might also want to read The Big Bang Never happened Eric Lerner. He is not a scientist but covers some theories of Luis Alvarez.

42. Sorry, personal joke.
Anyway that's a very good question. There are beliefs out there that say God was created in a completely different timeline/ universe to ours, and became omni-omni (all-everything) before he created the universe. The atheistic view, I believe, is that time extends infinitely in both directions, and matter just IS, and has been forever, and will continue to be.

I can see that you have an ordered mind and not dis-order like those evolutionists are. In the metaphysical necissity, the basic philosophic question is that "Something is there, rather than nothing is there". Then in the Epistemological necessity,
The problem of knowing, the theory of knowledge, or how we
know we know, the Greek philosophers spent much time grappling with this problem of knowledge. Plato was the one who wrestled with this most with great sensitivity.

Well the universe is unexplainable in origin. But I do know that living things on earth are fairly new and if you think about a 4.5ft. long piece of string representing the 4.5 billion years earth has been in existance, life is just spit on the end of the string. In regard to the universe, it just happened.

That is, truelly a Metaphysical question. One that should be put to Fate itself.
As Fate isn't here to answer for itself, I shall give the answer that all but a few religous fanatics, various Philosophers and a few Scientists. Will honestly say.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT MADE IT, but it is made and I live in it. So ACCEPT IT and LIVE WITH IT

the big bang theory as told by Koran and other religious books is the only source of creation of universe and Adam and eve story could also be true because there has always been found missing links between all related species as this has been proved by scientist ,bible and Koran!!THE UNIFICATION THEORY!!

Look your question has so many possible answers. I'm a Christian so I would say God. But there's is so much debate over this question that you were probably better off not asking it.
