Who Created the Universe From Nothing?
With this triumph of the Big Bang, the thesis of an "infinite universe", which forms the basis of materialist dogma, was tossed onto the scrap-heap of history. But for materialists it also raised a couple of inconvenient questions: What existed before the Big Bang? And what force could have caused the great explosion that resulted in a universe that did not exist before?
Materialists like Arthur Eddington recognized that the answers to these questions could point to the existence of a supreme creator and that they did not like. The atheist philosopher Anthony Flew commented on this point:
Notoriously, confession is good for the soul. I will therefore begin by confessing that the Stratonician atheist has to be embarrassed by the contemporary cosmological consensus. For it seems that the cosmologists are providing a scientific proof of what St. Thomas contended could not be proved philosophically; namely, that the universe had a beginning.

So long as the universe can be comfortably thought of as being not only without end but also beginning, it remains easy to urge that its brute existence, and whatever are found to be its most fundamental features, should be accepted as the explanatory ultimates. Although I believe that it remains still correct, it certainly is neither easy nor comfortable to maintain this position in the face of the Big Bang story. 6
Many scientists who do not force themselves to be atheists accept and favor the existence of a creator having an infinite power. For instance, the American astrophysicist Hugh Ross proposes a Creator of universe, Who is above all physical dimensions as:
By definition, time is that dimension in which cause-and-effect phenomena take place. No time, no cause and effect. If time's beginning is concurrent with the beginning of the universe, as the space-time theorem says, then the cause of the universe must be some entity operating in a time dimension completely independe

dimension completely independent of and pre-existent to the time dimension of the cosmos. …It tells us that the Creator is transcendent, operating beyond the dimensional limits of the universe. It tells us that God is not the universe itself, nor is God contained within the universe.

Well done brother, (Acid)
The definition of creation is to make something from nothing to something, that is the high quality of Allah swt. alone.
We only can produce or compose, something to some other thing, there is no Creator other than Allah swt.
When Allah swt. created this universe in first six days, then He threw the hole set of creation of Him, into the ocean of mediums to allow its production, that resulted in a Big bang, and the production process of each and every creature is in progress since that day to the last day, where every created element will appear one by one into this universe.

The 'force' that produced the Big Bang, and supplied the energy/matter for our universe is currently thought to have been either the intersection of our 11-dimensional brane with another, or the nearby destruction of a brane/antibrane collision.
Matter/energy appears to be vibrations in strings attached to our brane, and the destruction/intersection would have caused ripples that manifested themselves as an explosion of matter.
No intelligent agency is required for any of this, which makes it a far more likely explanation than anything based on the supernatural.
Negative commentary by anyone other that cosmological physicists are irrelevant. This is not their field.

What fluffle.
Anyways, without further ado:
The Big Bang, as known to science, is the beginning of time and space itself.
There was no "before" just like you cannot go further north than the north pole.
So: What existed before the Big Bang? Nothing.
What force tra la la cause la la la: It's fascinating to me that you think that the beginning of time - by definition an atemporal process - needs a cause. A cause is something that happened at a previous time, right? So the notion of cause is not really applicable.
And that makes the rest into fluffle.

We see and understand things in the light of what we already know.
Scientists are still trying to figure out the origin and nature of universe. All that you have mentioned are nothing but theories based on available circumstantial evidence.
Some will say that God is the source of it all - but then this too is a matter of debate.
The bottom line is that no one knows the complete and correct answer. We can only guess and theorize but it will be a long time until we actually know the facts.

The subspace Void is from where WHO? creates this microscopic little universe in a cyclic fashion. Just like cells bang against each other and jockey for space, so do universes, when one ends its cycle or is collided by another one
then a new one or group of universes begin. Gods understanding of Quantum Mechanics is impeccable, if you only knew the Power of the Quantum side....:).

George is actual acceptable. the enormous band concept in basic terms explains the aftermath of the bang and tells not something on the subject of the bang itself. it rather is something we at CERN and human beings at fermilab have being attempting to recreate for a at the same time as. by utilising smashing at the same time debris clsoe to the cost of sunshine we can understand greater acceptable the debris and aftermath of ways mass could be made out of not something and positively capacity. the subject is, the greater you ruin an atom (ironic that the greeks suggested because it an atom which actual capacity unbreakable), the greater we ruin it the greater of the 'particle zoo' we hit upon. Like a russian doll. String concept now capacity that each thing has a root in a single of 11 dimensions. What brought about the universe to be is a secret, what happenend after the bang us something we are only incredibly putting out to understand.

Surely the Universe tells us nothing about God?
All the theories are just that - theories. That includes Darwinism, Creationism and many belief structures including the belief in that a single deity or supreme presence created all that exists.

Excellent,you realize the BB is fact.You speak of DEISM,this is not arguable except by Occam's razor.I have no problem with a belief in god.I have a big problem with willful ignorance and the purposeful rejection of knowledge.Christianity destroys the Brain.Nothing you just said points to the CHRISTIAN version of a god.All of it points away from that.No problem believing in a god,explore science,understand how god did it.Realizes the Bible story is complete,utter hogwash.GOOD FOR YOU

At least this "proof of God" question is being backed up with scientific theories and such.
However, this in no way proves any of the religions as being correct. It does not prove that God breathed the Bible, or the Koran is God's word, etc - or the existance of heaven or hell.

Well, in the Bible is says that God created the universe... but seriously, there's no evidence to proof that and I wouldn't think anyone created the universe in the first place... it's really complicated
