Where did that first piece of matter come from, if not God? Where did the energy come from that caused the bang? Where did the space come from that the bang expanded into?
I say it's a load of Big Bunk!

Considering your scientific qualifications are nil, I'd say you're completely talking out of your hind quarters. Do you know what exists at the ends of our Universe? Do you know how said matter has arrived here? No you do not, and you cannot say you do with absolute certainty. What if our Universe is precluded by yet another Universe? Or contained within a Superuniverse? You don't know, no one can know, with current observation this is the most feasible answer we currently posses. Hardly anyone swears their lives by it, but it is the theory with the most backing evidence at the time, and as such is currently the most valid answer. God could be necessary somewhere in the chain, but your argument from ignorance fails to recognize that you simply cannot know where in the chain that he would even be necessary.

The Big Bang and Divine Creation both suffer from the same problem....that is what was the state of the universe at time = 0.
In other words, it's either where did all that energy come from ( and if all the energy and thus mass of the universe was contained within a dimensionless point - a gross violation of the laws of physics would be required for the big bang to boom at all) or what created God.

Time and space are all part of the same thing.
The problem we find hardest to comprehend is the concept of 'nothing' and the concept of time.
The universe doesn't expand into anything. The universe IS time and space. Outside of the universe there is nothing.
It's a difficult concept to get your head round, and I believe it is one of the reasons people turn to God, because it's so much easier to just accept that it is beyond our comprehension, and believe something supernatural did it all.
The other concept that is hard to grasp is that time started at the big bang.
The idea of 'before the big bang' is therefore a moot point. There can't be anything before the start of time, as there is no such thing.
Just try thinking about that idea for a few minutes.
As for where it all came from, who knows. Perhaps it was the collision of two higher dimensional universes, perhaps it is the inside of a black hole in another universe.
No one knows, and I guess, no one will ever know. To assume God made it answers nothing, and raises as many questions as it answers.
To wheel out the age old argument again - if God created it... who created God?
I'd much rather put my money on a very simple ball of matter and energy appearing out of nothing than a massively complex being capable of creating entire universes and all forms of life suddenly appearing out of nothing.

Look up quantum singularities for the first two. For the third, there wasn;t space. Space presumes dimension, and dimension was created in the big bang. The big bang expanded over an absolute void, constrictions of space and time would not exist.

Current theory is that "big bangs" happen all the time as the result of undulating "branes" (short for membranes) slaping into each other in 11-dimensional space. If you have the knowledge necessary to debunk the theory, I will be very impressed indeed.

You are scared of death and of losing your loved ones to death. You want there to be a benevolent parental figure that will make everything okay. Finally, you want a supreme authority to back you up in your own desires and opinions, so you believe in God.
In actuality, whatever reason the Big Bang happened does not have to be personal, or have done it on purpose, or love you. All those characteristics are imposed on the "mystery of the universe" BY you to make you feel better. You are childish that way.

It wasn't an explosion it was an expansion involving the reaction of protons and neutrons.
Where did God come from?

God indeed could have supplied all that was necessary for the Big Bang to banggg. The Big Bang and God are not mutually exclusive concepts. Both could be true.

These kinds of questions from supposed believers in God make my eyes itch
oh BTW I am a believe in God but this type of question shows you have done no research on the big bang or any of its supporting math or ideas
Do yourself and the rest of us a favor read up on it before you ask

It's been long observed through Quantum Physics that particles can spontaneously generate from nothing, although admittedly not for very long.
However, it wouldn't take very long for this to cause the 'big bang'.
