Well the big bang theory has its own flaws.
Scientists seem to favor the idea of a Big Bang because time itself (and space) was created after the big bang. No one knows what may have caused the big bang, and if there were such thing responsible for the big bang, we would encounter an even more troublesome question... what would've created the latter? and the latter?
Thats when the divine concept and creationism seems to play an important role in Science. "Something that Science cannot explain must be responsible for the beginning of space and time."
Nevertheless there seems to be evidence about such explosion ever happening mostly because of the fact the universe is expanding.

The question of what created the Big Bang is basically asking what existed before the Big Bang to create it. Since both time and space (and everything in it) started at T=0, asking what came before time to create it is more a question of philosophy than science. Also, our understanding of physics breaks down before we reach this point, since we don't yet have a quantum theory of gravity to deal with the initial blast-off. Maybe some day.
As eri says, hypotheses of a universe continuously oscillating between Big Bang and Big Crunch are still pursued, although the current evidence seems to indicate a Big Crunch unlikely. Would be better than the alternative Big Rip.

My theory is an universe with cycles: Two or more huge black hole ( matter and antimatter in the same quantity) collides, annihilate with a big bangs of energy. Then matter and antimatter would be created. After some billion years, the expansion end and the universe will star to crunch again for a new cycle.
If you need somebody (God) to create all, who have created this God? I would like to believe in a God, but this is an answer only to the faith and not to the science.

All of these respones leave the question unanswered, they don't know what took place in the millisecond before time and space began to expand. I will put my idea forward, once more. Once there existed a void that was infinite in size, it was a true void, it contained absolutely nothing. For some, as yet not understood reason a great stress formed in this void and it's manifestation was the introduction of a vast amount of energy. Energy has no mass, in a sense it is nothing, however, very high temperatures were also present and this caused the energy to transform into subatomic particles that formed all that is in existence today. The void no longer exists in it's original form and it may contain countless universes but the only voids astronomers mention are those that separate great galactic walls that have been discovered by the Hubble telescope, but even these voids are not recognized as true voids because it is claimed that some matter exists in them. I remain unshaken in my belief that everything came from nothing, I can see no other way. But what do I know? I do know that at one time scientists invented something they called the ether, this ether was invented to give light something to wave in when the belief at the time was that light could only travel in waves. This ether, they explained was a solid that was completely friction free, this allowed the earth to move through it freely. Makes you wonder, does it not?

Well science is now past thinking the Big bang was the begining of everything. Just now the creation of our universe. Google M-theory. Talks about how the Big Bang happenened, and what could have been before it..

It is a given that all the MASS of the universe (energy and matter) has always been here in one shape or form and can only be converted to something else.
The theoyr is that Big Bang explodes and then after a while falls back on it's self into what is called the Big Crunch.
All the mass falls back together to form a huge gravity well or singularity or black hole and when that gets to tight, fusion happens and BIG BANG!

Bottom line - we don't know.
All that we know is that the universe began and expanded. We can hear the last echo of the explosion in the background radiation that is everywhere.
The idea that all matter and energy was once in a very small space is consistent with everything we've observed in galaxy/star formation, plus the fact we see that the universe is expanding (via redshifts)
But no one knows how all the matter got into that small space, or what happened in the first 10^-42 of a second.

We know the universe is finite so at one time it did not exist.
If we look back at time zero nothing existed then so it had to start a tick of time after that.
The zero time had to have a potential and the potential has to be finite or it could have no reference when to start.
The finite potential produced a single space-time pulse of minimum size and duration. [The ingredients of a quantum universe]
The pulse continued,exploding outward,increasing in density and eventually producing the universe we see and experience to-day.

The Big Bang was created by the collision of two atoms. Atomic collision, done right, creates matter.
Hence, the theory is that two atoms were cruising towards each other at or near lightspeed. They whacked into each other and "boom!", genesis.
There is also an alternate theory,
God was boinkin' his wife one day, and "Bang" the universe was conceived.

New results from Penn State theorists may have finally been able to figure out how to predict this. Their results favor the idea that a universe expands, collapses back in on itself, and another universe begins from there - an eternal chain of expanding and contracting universes.
