The Big Bang theory doesn't address the question, "Why did the universe start?" It is simply a theory about how the universe "unfolded" from the moment that it did "begin". For an analogy this is kind of how evolution isn't the theory of how life started but the theory of how life "unfolded" once there was life. But there are theories of how life began and there are theories of how the universe began. I don't think there are any scientific theories of how the universe began but there are some interesting ideas, to name one...0=X+(-X) so why couldn't something come from nothing? So anyways my answer to your question is no.

Christian here...
The "Big Bang" theory can best be understood as a black hole working in reverse, if you want a simple explanation of it. Instead of a large mass collapsing on itself, there was a singularity so massive and creating so much heat energy that the escape velocity of the resulting explosion was actually greater than the speed of light.
There is additional support, in the form of microwave emissions, some slight variations of which seem to have also,helped form the galaxies. Without factoring a divine creator of the universe, it is the most rational explanation. In fact, the only significant opposition to it comes from religious texts.

Actually the theory was proposed by George Lemaitre, a Jesuit Priest from Belgium.
Nope, not very religious at all.
It is actually not used as a theory of creation as much as a working hypothesis, a model if you will, that fits with the observed Hubble Expansion. There are several other hypothesis that likely fit better.

It was coined by Fred Hoyle, and he was actually poking fun at the concept by giving it such a childish description.
And its the theory which best fits what we can deduce today. That the universe is expanding and that there is still 'noise' from the big bang in the form of cosmic background radiation.
True, there are many unanswered questions. If you have better, the world would love to hear about it.
B.B. Other hypotheses? what, you're just going to leave us hanging??

Many say the Big Bang is the best proof God exists. I read somewhere that many scientists came to believe in God because of this theory.

Not so inaccurate...
But... amusingly enough.... you know even less.
Afterall, though we haven't by a long shot totally figured it out... we are closer all the time to understanding the deep and distant past from the remnants remaining in the present.
While you on the other hand probably believe in some fantasy that someone made up because they couldn't figure anything out......
So at least we know something... while you... know nothing at all.

All origin theories are subject to conjecture some more than others . Yes we really don't know if there even was a beginning ...

No, it's the "I'm too complex for religious morons who can't read" theory.

Big bang theory is right, the only difference was it occured in an implosion manner rather than explosion.
