As Richard Dawkins points out, a God must have had an extremely complex mind, and the power to wield extreme amounts of energy, in order to instigate the Big Bang. This is not how cosmology works - events happen in very slow, incremental steps.
I am of the opinion that a Big Crunch from a previous universe 'created' the Big Bang, and that the matter we see before us now in an ordely state is the matter stewn from a previous exotic universe. I think this has happened many, many times before, again - in slow, incremental steps.
Both A and B are unlikely - but one must be true, of course.
Occram's razor points to B.

A. The Creator has control, and makes mathematical sense.
B. Eternal Matter Cycling would make sense, if not for the extreme mathematical impossibilities of a world like our developing by chance. It is beyond improbable, it is absurdly improbable and in the end not possible.
