With zero gravity, and space as we know it being a vacuum, what would have caused the big bang? Can any scientist on earth take (nothing) and cause it to explode? If and when that scientist does, would he not, then call his amazing feat, an act of intellegent design? I do believe in possibility of big bang. However, common sense tells us all, that, Such a huge explosion would caused chaos, not perfect harmony in our universe. Humans, no matter how smart he or she will tell you that they are, cannot make life from nothing. How logical is it
to believe it happened by accident?

Perhaps we caused the Big Bang. This is the essence of the anthropic principle in cosmology. We are here because of the Big Bang, and it happened because we are here. Our very existence caused it. We had no choice in this matter. Were you offered your life or did it just happen? And if you had some choice in your existence, then where, who, or what were you before you before you became you? So much for the Big Bang.
If you want to invoke choice and/or chance into the matter, then you have to invoke some external player such as God, into the equation of Life, the Universe and Everything. Since science can offer no proof either way for the existence or non-existence of God, you have to put it down to Faith; which would in turn beg the question "Did God have a choice"?.. and if God didn't have a choice, then what? Does God play dice? Did he roll a 4 and a 2? Einstein said He didn't.

When are people going to realize that we don't know the cause of the Big Bang? Alexis is correct in saying that the universe would by nature expand from an extremely unstable point, that much matter and energy cannot be forced into such a small volume and be expected to stay that way. However this is unverified. What Alexis stated is the most likely explanation, but there are other possibilities, one stated was quantum fluctuations by Okla, but we can't go around spewing it out like we know with absolute certainty how the Big Bang happened. If this is the result of a random quantum fluctuation then the inference that the universe was once an extremely compressed piece of energy is incorrect. Both quantum fluctuations and the "primordial atom" theory (although it wasn't really an atom) are equally valid as neither has been verified beyond a reasonable doubt therefore it's safe to say that we simply don't know yet, but we're getting closer to an answer.

Science doesn't say that the big bang happened. Science only observes the red-shift of distant galaxies and the cosmic microwave background. Both tend to point that the observable universe was at one time in the past, all together. Then science tries to imagine what it could be and calls it the Big Bang. The truth is, we don't know for sure.
From all time, man has had problems with unanswered questions and religion was mostly invented to answer those. Some may believe that the big bang was an act of god, just like the Norsemen thought the god Thor was responsible for the thunder.

The answer is unkown at this time. However, your corollary that because the answer is not known now therefore it will never be known is not a logical conclusion.
It is true that 450 years ago the church was censuring and condemning and persecuting those who attempted to bring scientific truths to knowledge. It is true that man has made great strides in discoveries about the Universe in the last 100 years. It is true that even today man is in the infancy of his understanding of the makeup and origin of the Universe.
It is not true that because man has an incomplete understanding of the beginnings of the Universe that this somehow translates into proof of intelligent design.
Your understanding of the Big Bang seems flawed. It is not currently thought to be an 'explosion' as it was in the 1930's but a rapid expansion. You may wish to review current theory for a better understanding of it before you criticize it further.
It has always been common practice for early man to solve the riddle of things he did not understand with the concept of a deity or deities being responsible for it (lightning, thunder, fire, rain, stars, the Moon, the Sun). I think it would be wise to allow science time to research things instead of simply saying 'a god did it'. Science is not a threat to religion if you believe that your religion is based upon truth. Researching the beginning of the Universe and finding answers should not cause you to fear anything that science might discover.
I'm not sure where your evidence of zero gravity and a vacuum stems from. But you at least should review the following link in referrence to your claims about life.

Perfect harmony? Where exactly do you see perfect harmony in the universe?
If all the galaxies were the same size and shape, and all lined up into neat little columns and rows, that would indicate intelligent design. But I don't see that. I see swirling masses of gas and light, flung about everywhere, bound together only by gravity.
The big bang was chaotic. So much so it took 380,000 years just for things to cool down enough for electrons and protons to get together and form hydrogen atoms. (See CMBR)
Incidentally, the Big Bang model has never stated that nothing existed before it. It only states that all of the matter and energy in our present universe was compacted into a very small space, then it expanded.
What caused it? I don't know. Nobody knows. It is, by definition, the earliest know event in the universe because it was such a chaotic mess that it is impossible to construct a model that predicts what happened just before it. Until some new evidence surfaces, we will have to live with our ignorance.

*Laughs* Once again, you'll have to re-read Ensteins general relatively....
First, if you're a Christian you believe that G-d created the Big Bang. Source of Orgin solved.
Second, if you believe in science, then its the old "Nature abbhors a vacuum" so it had to fill in the void.
Your premise of energy forming from nothing then dissappearing happens all the time, in microseconds of a length long.

Since when do trolls happen by accident? They are the result of a serious personality disorder paired with ignorance. And they are certainly not created by a mighty explosion but by a whimper of the human mind. And if one thing is for sure than this: God has nothing to do with trolls. God is almighty, but troll are just pathetic.

The universe began as a finite potential.
If the potential had not been finite,it would have either exploded or disappeared and never have occurred again.

I've been thinking about this for a while and I think I know, I'm not a scientist but I just randomly imagined it and I laughed because it just might be it. But then again I might just be crazy.

Hey, nice diatribe. I can see you are quite open-minded about science.
Intelligent design doesn't exist. It's a ploy by religious groups to sneak their views into schools, because they have utterly failed to teach young people in their churches.
"perfect harmony"? sheesh, except for our sweet little planet Earth, its a Hellhole out there!
Black holes, supernovae, 1000 mph caustic winds... yeah, its a regular Garden of Eden.
