If you say "A BIG BANG" then where did the big bang come from and what caused it ? What was there before that and before that and before that?? Where did the planets come from? The Universe? What started anything?

Maybe God caused the big bang. Scientists don't know everything, and what caused the big bang is something that we don't know right now. Maybe nothing caused it. Maybe it just happened. We may find an answer to that one day, or we may not.

I'll assume that because you've combine evolution with the big bang(which only a creationist would do), that you interpret this question as some sort of a challence to science. Well, it isn't. We have no problem with the fact that we don't know some things. However, we do know that there was a big bang, and that there was evolution, because both of those things are supported my enormous evidence.

Whether God caused it, and then sent his son to die on a cross, or not, that's not up to science to say. Keep your faith if you like. Just be warned that if you insist on defining it so rigidly that it comes in opposition with scientific facts, the facts speak for themselves, whether you want to see them or not.

There are some things for which science does not currently have answers. This does not mean that science will never have answers, only that there is no satisfactory theory yet.

The Big Bang theory is well-established by observations (in some sense, you can actually see the Big Bang with radio telescopes). The Big Bang theory does not, however, include the cause of the Bang itself---that is still unknown.

Similarly, evolution explains how all known living organisms evolved from early single-celled organisms. It does not explain where those first organisms came from, and there are several competing theories as to how they came about. That does not mean, however, that we will never understand the origin of life.

As to planet formation, that is now (in the past decade) pretty well understood and confirmed by observations of stellar systems currently being formed.

Big Bang is a Theory and all evolutionists accept that it is still unknown how the universe started........we are still looking for the answers.
. EVOLUTION DID HAPPEN we simply can’t trace the exact evolutionary steps of the of the 3 trillion plus species on earth. Considering there is no way that we can even prove if we have located all the species on earth, this may always remain a theory. We can prove though, beyond a doubt, that humans have evolved. We can trace it back conclusively 3.6 million years. 97% of all scientists accept evolution (so does the Catholic Church). Christians have spread lies about this excessively, they especially like to say evolution preaches that Humans evolved from monkeys. Evolution does not state that humans evolved from monkeys, that idea is completely absurd.
Science states that monkeys and humans evolved from a shared forefather and are hence relatives, (all primates are) but we are in no way direct descendants of them

The same could be asked of your God. If the Big Bang (which by the way has nothing to do with Evolution) has to have been caused. How is it so easy for you to believe in a God Creature that always was. With no cause at all?

Well first, it isn't imperative to see the mechanism or beginning of something to see that it is happening. Science hasn't a very good idea how gravity works, but that doesn't imply that you can say it isn't happening.

The cause of the Big Bang seems to be a collision in the underlying framework of other universes.

Plants and animals actually separated all the way back before they were even organized into cells.

Before the big bang, nobody knows. One theory is that the universe has its own repeating life cylce. It has a big bang, it grows to maximum size, then it shrinks back down to nothing in what could be called a 'big crunch'. Once this happens, another 'big bang' occurs.
As for evolution, read it up. We evolved from single-cell organisms, through fish, to land animals, to primates, to us. As offensive as this may be to xtians, it doesn't mean it isn't true.

Start?
There is no start.
You could reach the same point eventually by fast-forwarding time as you could by rewinding it.

For time is cyclic. There is no point of beginning or end... as the Universe is "created" by its own "destruction" .... like the phoenix or ouroborous it is perpetually the agent of its own deformation and reformation.
The "Big Bang" is just where all the cards are shuffled back into the deck and dealt again.


To look beyond that finite circle of time would require looking to dimensions that no human has the capacity to comprehend... and yet I suspect it would merely repeat itself.

One, Evolution has NO bearing on how the Universe started. That's the realm of Astronomy, Physics and Astro Physics (and a host of others).

Two, My answer is this "I don't know for sure." There are some very interesting theories, and I encourage you to ask this in the Science section so you could hear about a few of them. This is the Religion section, having little to nothing to do with Science.

Hmm, a lot of questions, but good ones.

First off, not everything evolved. Biological evolution only explains how simple carbon chains eventually ended up becoming complex organisms. It is not the process by which planets were made. You didn't have two planets giving genetic information to baby planets which had to compete for survival.

The planets came from gravity pulling a bunch of matter together. Stars were created when the massive amounts of hydrogen were pulled together by gravity. That heated up and caused fusion reactions which made heavier atoms, such as iron and carbon. The stars eventually spewed that matter into space and gravity pulled that into planets.

The Big Band came long before any stars formed and even longer before any life evolved. There are many theories about what caused the Big Bang and what might exist outside of this universe. It could be that this universe is one of trillions or an infinite number of universes. It could be that this universe is an odd quantum event, and there's nothing really outside of it. In truth, we just don't have any data about that because of the nature of the universe.

Now, if you want to stick "God did it" there as an explanation for how the universe came about, then fine. However, that really is not an answer that is supported by any evidence. There's nothing to suggest that any gods exist. Though, there is a lot of evidence, in each of the world's religions, that gods are concepts made by men which flourish like urban legends do today. Personally, I would rather leave it as "We don't know yet". This answer leaves room for our curiousity to keep seeking answers, instead of just being satisfied with a pat answer that doesn't really explain anything.

God.

As far as God ? How did He begin.

God had no creation, God existed in Eternity, Time itself, The ticking of the Clock as it were, was created By God for us as He does not need it, God existed before time, around time, about time, Over time.
He is eternal.

If an Atheist say the Big bang, from what ? And when you answer that question, I will ask that question again until infinity,
To say that it just "happened" from the Nothingness is Ludicrious, and to say that, "since we are here, it is proof enough that it happened" is equally Ludicrious.

Unless, they can "speak into existance" a Big Bang, from the "nothingness" there is no way they can proove to me the Big Bang, The Only evidence I will accept is for them to "speak into existance" a Big Bang from the Nothingness.

Now, That Kills that, To infinity.
