This is the old circular argument just accept that our brains are not yet powerful enough to understand this sort of thing. This is why some people invent gods to fill in the gaps.

we don't understand what led to it. the actual undertaking with this question of what led to the massive bang is finally a organic and organic one; our brains have stepped forward to anticipate that each thing has a reason, we gained't think of any experience ever not having one. for many "God led to the massive bang" is a superbly functional reaction. This seems to help many cope with the unsatisfying prospect of an experience without reason. the subject for sure is that one is then right this moment forced to ask, "From the place did the writer come?" If the respond is "he continually existed" then we've a situation, from a causality point of view, that's not greater satisfying than a universe that springs forth from not something. A writer that has continually existed is an entity that by some ability exists without reason. in case you think of something led to the massive bang (like God) that's purely your very own view on the massive bang and persons have many diverse techniques of explaining why it handed off and if a God of a few form grow to be in contact or not.

Actually, any argument about (having a) cause only applies within time and space, so it applies neither to any deity(s) (beyond space/time) or the universe as such (since the universe IS the emerging and expanding of space/time). There is no "before" the universe, because there "was" no time. No before and after, no coherent conception of causality.
No rational argument can demonstrate a deity, no evidence would suggest a deity and only a deity. This means science cannot comment on whether a deity exists (wrong logical domain) so strong agnosticism is all we are left with.

Well by whose definition of God will we choose? The word god itself is the problem. Science cannot rule out the possibility that some outside force didn't start it all, and science doesn't also claim to have all the answers. They just use the evidence they have and take it from there. But then again we cannot rule out the possibility we aren't some experiment in an alien universe simulation machine either...so it's anyones guess.

Your idea of god fills in the gaps of your knowledge very conveniently. Science keeps pushing the limits of our knowledge further back and people keep claiming that the unknown must be proof of god. Why isn't 'we don't know but we're working on it' good enough? Why must the areas of our ignorance be labeled god?

Exactly. What caused God? Doesn't make much sense, does it? We don't know what caused the big bang, but it wasn't some giant invisible man with superpowers.

A Firm agnostic? you mean you won't come down from that perch on the fence?
An Agnostic is a dishonest Atheist, lacking a positive beleif that god exists..

God is. He had no beginning or end. Also God is a spirit and was not a physical being when he created the universe..

Recent considerations of this by quantum physists has presented the notion that perhaps something came from nothing because something is more stable than nothing.

the whole concept of God is understanding he is eternal "the creator" not created he is and was and is to come, he lives forever and has been forever and will always be.
he has the power or "energy force" if you will to create and be, it all came from him. He is what science has been trying to figure out.
