Where did the material for the Big Bang come from? What set off the Big Bang?
I'm not agnostic. I'm a Christian. I just wanna "know" this.

Hey 3, the LAW of Entropy predicts that a universe that has eternally existed would have died an "eternity ago" of heat loss.
Sorry. LOL!

All celestial objects have their own local gravitational fields, and it is commonly assumed that particles like gas, dust, and meteors that come within the sphere of gravitational influence of larger bodies will be pulled into those bodies. But this is not what is observed.
An example is found in the space program where the astronauts on the way to the moon dumped waste material outside their spacecraft. Where did it go? It didn’t fall off into space or fall back onto the spacecraft. It followed the spacecraft all the way to the moon slowly orbiting the spacecraft as captive moons.
Planets can’t “sweep up” material objects moving in orbit similar to their own. An object outside a body’s sphere of influence cannot reach the edge of the sphere if it doesn’t reach a relative velocity that matches escape velocity at that distance from the body.

Why is it that when one studies Evolution -- with a CAPITAL E -- one is supposed to throw logic out the window?
Evolution is based off of spontaneous generation, which was PROVEN to be false.
If the creation of the universe was random, chaotic, and unpredictable, modern scientific investigation could never have been developed.
The definition of a scientific fact: an observation (no one has observed Evolution in which there is an increase in genetic information) that has been confirmed repeatedly (you can’t repeat something that you don’t know how it happened) and is accepted as true (Evolution isn’t even accepted by leading scientists)
Enzymes can only be produced by living cells, yet living cells ABSOLUTELY require many specialized enzymes in order to survive.

The Big Bang is a scientific subject, not a religious one.

All the matter of "this" universe was compressed in a small volume before the Big Bang (a huge Black Hole?).
The Big Bang was set off by some sort of instability between the huge forces that were keeping all such matter compressed.
This is basically what I understood about it.
The Big Bang scattered all matter away from the explosion centre and the universe is still expanding.
The distribution of matter was chaotic, but other forces such as gravity made some structures and some order emerge from the chaos.
Moreover, some molecular combinations were able to attract the right materials to grow and reproduce themselves. The chrystals.
In some planets with favorable conditions, some molecule combinations acquired the ability to reproduce themselves and to evolve depending on their success, starting what we now know as Life.
The appearence and evolution of life forms from Chaos and later their conscience and free will, are (probably) one of God's greater experiments.

" just wanna "know" this."
No, you don't. And this misinterpretation of science
"Hey 3, the LAW of Entropy predicts that a universe that has eternally existed would have died an "eternity ago" of heat loss. "
proves it.
ROTFLMAO! (Trumps your LOL, so there. Grow up.)
ADDENDUM
"An example is found in the space program where the astronauts on the way to the moon dumped waste material outside their spacecraft. Where did it go? It didn’t fall off into space or fall back onto the spacecraft. It followed the spacecraft all the way to the moon slowly orbiting the spacecraft as captive moons."
Well, thank you for further demonstrating your TOTAL lack of understanding of science. Ever heard of a little thing called inertia? If you cannot fathom something as basic as that, you should give it up.

My favorite theory is that all the matter in the universe was compacted into a tiny tiny object of such incredible density that it reached absolute density and the gravity of the object was causing it to heat up and eventually it reached the point of explosion.
This explosion hurled all the matter in the universe outward, where some of it eventually coalesced into objects like stars, planets, comets, asteroids, etc, all brought together by mutual gravitational pulls.
Is it THE Truth about the beginning of the universe?
Who knows?
It's the theory I find most plausible, though.
This is an incredibly condensed version, of course, and I've left out a lot of details that extrapolate on it.
EDIT:
Imagine that.... yet another Christian liar.
Says he "just wants to know" but proves that he just wants to argue.
Liar.

If you want to know this, then read up on cosmology. It's science, not religion, so there's no point in asking it here.
In short, asking where the matter came "from" or asking what came "before" the Big Bang is like asking what lies 10 miles north of the north pole. Our Newtonian concepts about matter, space, and time do not exactly hold when we're dealing with physics on this level.
Oh, and for the record, the physicist who first proposed the Big Bang model was also a Belgian priest. So much for the claim that the Big Bang was made to replace religious belief.

Google Stanley Lloyd Miller. He did create life from inorganic matter and it has been duplicated dozens of times. Your comments on celestial mechanics is a good indication that you are talking like a fundie, taking a few bits of information and making something totally foreign out of it. The bib band started from a singularity. Did god create that? Probably, but he is not looking over my shoulder.

The material was energy and could have encompassed the area of a pinhead. All around you today, you can see the same amount of energy that there was in the singularity. When the singularity reaches critical mass it explodes (or implodes), and the energy expands as matter. The matter cools and the universe expands. Some say the universe collapses into a singularity again only to expand again in a continuous cycle of expand and collapse.

Yes, I'm a christian and I believe in the Big Bang Theory: God said "bang" and it happened. hahaha.
Seriously, I believe that there is no real solid explanation of how the big bang really happened. How can something come out of nothing?
If something is designed, there is a designer. If something is made, then there is a maker. If something is created, there is a creator.

The problem is -- the word "cause" is a term that only has meaning within time so to ask for a cause for time is incoherent.
There is also the multiverse theory, M-theory, and the instability of nothingness. The balance between negative and positive energy in the universe lead scientists to believe no supernatural entity is necessary.

The Big Bang was the first manifestation of the Physical God. He began recreating the cosmos, in that first instant of time, and the recreation is ongoing.
God is the Bang, we are the echo...cho...ho...o...

Where did your god come from? That's right... he's eternal... so you should have no problem accepting eternally existing mass or an eternal universe (btw: we don't know if the universe is cyclic or not, its just the current popular belief that the big bang was "the" beginning)
