If you do, then why do scientists always say the universe got created with the big bang, instead of: the universe created itself with the big bang?

I cant believe I have to explain the difference:
look at the wording: the universe GOT created
Hence, meaning it came to be by an action of will.

Life from dirt without God? Not very likely. Where did that Big Bang come from anyhow?

I believe that space and time came into existence with the Big Bang. The word "created" does not fit here at all. Any question about the cause of the universe is nonsense, since it attempts to apply a time bound concept (causality) outside of time. This is why God also escapes any questions about causality, because God is (supposedly) outside of space/time.

would you believe that not only am I an atheist, but I also don't believe in the concept of linear time? which is somewhat substantiated by Einsteins special relativity theory. basically massive astral bodies (think neutron stars) will warp time with their gravitational pull. Larger astral bodies will warp it more. Black hole (center of galaxy/whirlpool of the universe) even more so. to the point that as it destroys now it creates back then all at the same time. Time is only linear on small scale of planets and puny scale of humans. But universally it's much more malleable. Conceptually and theoretically this can get deeper and deeper, much easier to belive that someone created it all.

You assume it was created. Science makes no such assumption.
We observe what is, and report our findings. Yes, the current state of the universe shows all evidence of coming from a single immensely dense particle, and expanded from there. Beyond that, we have no data to work with.

The universe didn't create itself at the big bang. The universe began at the big bang, because there was no time dimension before that. There's a difference between being created and beginning.

The God of the Gaps argument. You find something in science you believe has no explanation or just simply don't understand then rebuke it with an even more outstanding claim such as,"God did it." In short your saying," I don't know so the only other explanation is God," which in turn puts you back at the beginning of your own argument against no evidence.

The word "created" doesn't not necessarily imply a divine source, just as I may use the word "design" in reference to humans without implying sentient design. Perhaps a more appropriate word would be originated.
Edit:
You are reading too much in the use of a word and missing the big picture behind it.

Oh my FSM...
It's the semantics trolls again...
Let me guess, and because be "belive" the universe came to being... we're also religious?
And because we have "faith" the sun will rise, we're obviously believers?
Oh... and because I say holy ****, I'm also admitting there's truth in religion...
And If I go oh my ****ing god, you are an idiot, go to hell, I'm obviously admitting the existence of god, right?
You DO realize that only holds true to the english speaking people? In my language the term goes like "something that just happened" ;)
Honestly, misinterpreting words is no way to argue a point. Makes you look stupid.

Scientists, nor any educated people, say "got created". If you're going to construct a straw man fallacy, you could at least construct a grammatically correct straw man fallacy.

the universe doesn't actually exist.... it's just a vacuum fluctuation and will soon recombine with the anti-universe, in less than one Planck time... things only seem to be lasting longer because we are viewing things from the inside.

You write such a childish question.
I don't claim to know what created the world. I don't claim it was a big bang. I (like millions of others) really don't know how we all got here.
What I do know is that every single religion in the world tries to claim they are the right one and everyone else is wrong.
Well somebodys lying aren't they??
