I mean, before the big bang or the creation or whatever happened? What happened before that? Who or what caused anything to be anything?

Or the Garden of Eden or ANYTHING. Something had to be first, even before the Big Bang or the Creation ... don't ya think?

Nobody knows what existed before the Big Bang.
It could not have been a supreme entity:
If God existed before everything- Why did he wait to create everything? An omniscient being would always have known he was going to create everything... right? So why the delay?
Any answer to the above question shows that if a creator exists, he must be flawed.
The only way that the premise works is if God created everything at the very moment he came into existence. Which would mean that God himself was created.

Just because we don't know yet does not mean that 'god did it' - there are many occurrences that were once caused by the gods that we now know were natural phenomena - for example wind, thunder, lightning, waves, storms, sun 'rises' and sun 'sets'.
We still have many questions to answer.
Don't forget that religion has held us back from the progress we may have made; we could have been 100, 200, 500, 1000 years into the future and we would have had answers to so many more questions.
Religion is a dead weight to scientific research and discovery.
In 1899 Commissioner of the U.S. Patent Office Charles H. Duell said: "Everything that can be invented has been invented."

How Did Everything Begin

That's the catch, isn't it? For matter to exist, to me, it seems that there couldn't have been a beginning. Yes, if there was a Big Bang, there was something before that. Hopefully we'll find out someday.

What is the first cause?
What is life?
Why is it here?
No one can answer these questions.
No one can grasp the concepts of infinity and/or nothing.
That is why I will always be an agnostic unless something else is proven without a shadow of a doubt.

Chuck Norris round-house kicked God in the face and told him to create the heavens and earth. God asked for 10 days Chuck gave him 6. That's why we have natural disasters, God had to rush.
What? Its no more far fetched than "GOD DID IT"

At the most fundamental level, everything is random and uncaused. Anything else leads to logical errors such as infinite regression.

If the Universe is truly inifinite, there never was a beginning.
Ow. That hurts my brain. But I stand by it.

Don't let anyone fool you. Nobody knows. Even the Bible makes it clear that we don't know and won't, as long as we abide on this world.

No one knows, hence the reason for the "God talk".
Hence, the expression 'God of the gaps". People don't like admitting they don't know, so they say "God did it".
