Believing in God doesn't answer that question.
This is like saying "America is better than other countries because there's crime in other countries".

Alternative answer: From Chuck Norris, of course.

It really wasn't a bang. A better term may be the big expanse. We know it happened because when we observe galaxies in space they are getting further apart and all coming from a central point in our universe. I don't know why you think two atoms collided? Energy and matter are related in the equation E=mc^^2. It is possible at the beginning that the point of singularity was all energy and no matter. Once this energy began it's expanse it formed matter. Also I don't believe time began with our universe. I don't see time as something physical. Time is only a measurement and even if there is nothing to measure, time measures how long nothing was there. That is why God can not be outside of time.

I think it is the result of the formation of space/time. I think that matter and energy are a kind of fold or ripple in the geometry of spacetime and that both are in a sense illusory... it is possible that the big bang is just a particular structure that to us seems to create a universe because we are likewise made up of such virtual particles but in fact it may all be nothing twisted up to seem like something and that it will cease to exist in a gnats eyeblink... if the fluctuations of nothingness suddenly continue.

I don't know.
M-theory seems to be the hot contender at the moment, but it is not ready for prime time yest, so it may well change.
Why does a lack of knowledge mean that an infinite being with infinite knowledge and infinite powers, who's origin is totally unknown, had to have done it?
Do you have any evidence to support your hypothesis?
At least for M-theory it supports the known facts of the universe, is mathematically consistent and makes some predictions that can be tested.
Does "God Did It" theory do any of the above?

I don't know but it isn't an atheists place to answer this. Atheists merely don't believe in god. It is not an affirmative statement and makes no guess about the origins of life or the universe.
I have no view on the origins of the universe other than it is extremely old, not 12,000 years.

Who said every atheist believes the Big Bang to be true? There are other theories out there, this is just he most popular one of our time.
What atheist ever said that Science has figured out everything there is to know and we should just stop gathering and learning?
At least we don't assume that all the knowledge of mankind's existence was realized 2000 years ago.... what a joke.

That is a tough one. The big bang theory says that energy 'created' matter just as matter can 'create' energy (E=mc2). I don't claim to know the source of that energy, but I don't think simply attributing it to a higher being as being very rational.

Well, blablablah, long history of evidence of spontaneous creation of subatomic particles, yadda yadda yadda singularities, tum te tum, Big Bang replaced by Inflationary Universe theory years ago, la la la, Cosmic Fireballs, and so on, and so on.
It's been asked an awful lot, I'm afraid. And answered an awful lot. Check the search bar above.

Humanity doesn't know. As of right now, it appears to be eimpossible to ever determine with certainty what actually happened, as the process would have destroyed all of the information about the previous state(s).
We can come up with theories about it, and come up with models of what existed before that could have resulted in the event was we are able to observe from its effect.
But, that is a powerful admission of atheists, that they don't know everything. Not ever question is answered.

Well, we are working on finding out, unlike some who seem to think the energy blasted from some imaginary beings benevolent @ss cheeks.

Typical God worshipper, instead of looking for an answer, you will say God did everything and be done with it.
