Some people believe the big bang, that from the reactions of objects in space created the earth and stuff, but yet don't believe that there was a god that had something to do with it. If you believe in the big bang, what created that stuff, which created that stuff, to have a reaction to create the earth and stuff. Why don't people notice how magical/unbelievable for a big solid thing (watermelon) to grow from a little tiny black seed, or how another creature is made, from inside a human, thats nothing but guts and meat in the inside!

And yet a watermelon does grow from a seed completely naturally! And humans do,in fact, grow inside their mothers! There is no violation of the laws of physics, chemistry, or biology in either of these processes.
As for the Big Bang, I suspect that you have the usual misconception that it is like an ordinary explosion only larger. This is false! Instead of things flying thorugh space (like in an explosion), it is space itself that is expanding. Also, since time is part of the universe, time itself began with the Big Bang (at least in some versions of the theory). So there was no 'before the Big Bang' any more than thereis a 'north of the north pole'.

It is magical no matter how it came into existence. Nobody knows exactly how it all started or what else exists beyond our universe. It is only human ignorance that assumes that something cannot exist without someone creating it. How can you start out with a creator if you have nothing.
That big bang was ~14 billion years ago and there are about 100 trillion billion stars in the universe. On that time and distance scale the Earth and mankind are not even a grain of sand on the beach. To me that means that the universe is vastly more wondrous than we can even comprehend but we are not the center of universe.
The mysteries of biology are largely understood by science. There are perfectly logical explanations for how it all came about. It doesn't make it any less spectacular nor does it mean that there isn't something beyond our physical nature. People should not assume they are all knowing and accept that some things are probably beyond knowing.

The world is not magical. It may be awe-inspiring, and amazing, but it is not magical. Science can explain how watermelons grow from seeds, or how animals reproduce.
If people like youself, including scientists, believe that a supreme being is the driving force behind creation, that's fine, but it's religion, not science.
You know, your question can be rephrased: Isn't it incredible that the universe - bigger and grander than anyone can imagine - operates on physical principles that exist everywhere, and those laws can be explored and understood?

Man did not Create the Universe.Man at creation was in perfect comunion with his Creator. Because of disobedience
God changed his enviroment.Man now had to strggle to make a living. As time went by man degraded from its original state and be came prone to physical disease. So evolution was in the reverse man 's physical being degraded and death came to end his life sooner than in the past. Life span became very short.
So man could only procreate but gave his progeny as hinheritance a sinfull nature that evolved from generation to generation.That is evolution in a nut shell.
Big Bang is a theory set by science in an atempt to try to enravel the mysteries of the Universe that Our Creator has set. The problem still remain would all manking evolve to accept the Salvation that God the Father gave us thru Jesus His only begoten Son.
Or will man evolve to self destruct.

Please take any narrow-visioned Creationist opinions elsewhere.
Do you insist that God created Heaven and Earth in one 24-hour day? Or, could God have been working on his own "time" wherein a day to God would be the equivalent of many millions of years to us?
People all over this section recognize the uniqueness of our existence. But, they also recognize that God would not have made us, and us alone, His exclusive creations. The galaxy, and the universe are teeming with His handiwork.

Every thing we know we have learned from observation, we know why a watermelon grows and why living creatures reproduce. Plenty of people believe God is behind it all..they are wrong.

By the same logic, I could ask you what created your god? And what created the thing that created your god? And so on. This argument is a logical fallacy, albeit fairly subtle.
Sure, I notice the amazing splendor and wonder of the natural world. But it never crosses my mind that it must have necessarily been created by a god.

Yeah, you seem pretty confused. You might want to look up big bang theory and see what it actually says. Look up cosmic chemical evolution while you're at it. It actually makes a lot of sense, has a lot of evidence to back it up, and can be explained often with basic physical principles (like gravity). Look it up - on a real science site.

Why is this in the science section? It is not a scientific question nor does it have much to do with science.
