I have noticed many christians say no, big bang isn't true, everything has to be created by someone. Then....who made god? Think about it, if god is all powerful and this supreme being, then something would have had to create him. And whatever created god would have been created by something else. And that would have been created by something else, so it keeps going on.

oh, and for the dumba$$ that says it is only a "theory" look up the definition of scientific theory. It has evidence for it, it is different that the laymans term for theory.

Isn't it funny how theists cannot accept that even the simplest microbe could exist by natural unthinking processes, but have no problem at all in believing that a super-intelligent entity capable of designing and creating an entire universe just exists from nothing and from nowhere?
Obviously, humans invented gods in our imaginations.

As to the big bang being true or not, I don't know. It doesn't really matter. I do know that the speed of the universe after the big bang (if it indeed did happen) has actually been increasing rather than decreasing, which would, in my understanding, go against the concept of the after-effects of an explosion. (Isn't matter supposed to slow down and dissipate?)
Anyway, as I was saying, the big bang doesn't argue for or against the existence of God. I wasn't there during the 7 days of creation (and I do believe that they happened) but why couldn't God have been the initiation of the big bang? To add, maybe it wasn't a bang. Maybe He slowly formed everything and set it on a path of acceleration. Who on this earth knows? None I suppose.
The Bible does say a couple things about God's existence. If you read Exodus 3, God tells Moses to tell the Egyptians that "I AM" has sent him. In Psalms 90, the writer reveals God to be from "everlasting to everlasting".
Here is a big one. Isaiah 44:6 says, "Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel, And his Redeemer, the LORD of hosts: 'I am the First and I am the Last; Besides Me there is no God."
Men can say what they want, but I've never seen truth greater revealed than in knowing Jesus Christ, not only as Lord and King, but as my friend.

Christian here...
Your question assumes that God exists merely within our perception of linear height, depth, width and time. God, as I understand him, exists outside the rules of our universe, and therefore is not bound by the laws of it (he actually created the laws of it).
Having said that:
The Big Bang is the most reasonable explanation we have for our universe. The only significant arguments to it come not from science, but from religious texts.
The reason that religious have an issue with it is because they are so hung up on a literal translation of their holy texts that they don't think outside it.
Believing in the Big Bang was one of the things that actually led me to believe that there was a God. I understand the astrophysics behind it well enough, but it still just seemed too much for some reason, like something had to set it off.
I know a lot of this seems like speculation--which it is--and avoidance--which it isn't. That's as best as I understand it.

St Thomas Aquinas used this idea to try and prove that God exists. He believed that God is the first cause, and is different from all the other causes in that He doesn't need a cause to exist. However, this argument can be seen as just being a logic puzzle with some premises that can't be justified. But then again, how did everything get here in the first place? Is matter then the ultimate cause?

Most christians say because God existed forever you can't answer that question. That's just a ignorant way of saying God is acausual which basically means there is no reason God exists but he does. This is the core of the God theory.
I know of only 2 theories with fairly simple assumptions that give you all your stuff. One idea is that there is an infinite chain of causes. The other is that things can be caused because there is no reason to stop them from happening. Then nothing suddenly becomes an infinite amount of sets and a very complex tree of "stuff". The other one I don't understand very well.

Religious people aren't allowed to think for themselves. People created God so they could sleep better at night.

This is a Good Question and This Is why Some People Decide not to Practice a Specific Religion and just decide to Live life as they please. To practice Non-Religion.

And watch the religious people stream in to justify their belief. I bet you at least one person will say 'we are not meant to understand God'.

No one had to create God just because He created us. He was there. The beginning of time.
