At the moment, no one really knows in ether case. However we have an educated guess at how God got here. The Jewish culture in the land of Israel needed explanations to explain natural phenomena so they dreamt up God. Other societies had other gods. It was also used as a threat to force people to comply with the ruling elite. It still is.

Well, the advantage of God is the acceptance that he was always, and is eternal. It's a faith thing; when you accept that God made everything out of nothing, it's not much of a stretch to say he was always there.
The closest the Big Bang has is stuff involving string theory, quantum theory, or other stuff that no one on this board really understands. (Unless we have someone who does, in which case, no offense meant.)

I didn't know anyone was still the "big bang type". (No scientist in his right mind believes in it anymore. Aren't you people up with the times?)
God didn't get here, he made here. Furthermore, he was always around, even before here existed. "Here" is the natural universe. However, God is SUPERnatural - he operates outside of spacetime.

Well according to string theory and the 11th dimension, at the beginning of the universe all of the forces of the universe (gravity, magnetic, etc.) were combined in to what can be described as a superstring that was just floating around in the multiverse. For some reason this superstring split into four forces creating the universe as we know it.

God made everything so evidently He was already here. God is not limited by time and space. God can be (and is) everywhere at once. It's hard to understand, but God had no beginning and will have no end. He's always been in existence, and always will be...

Questions of ultimate origin (like yours) can be answered one of two ways:
1- God did it (which means it's a mystery that we cannot know).
2- It occurred naturally (which means it is "knowable" in principle, even if we never actually figure it out.)
To invoke god is just to surrender. The braver and more interesting approach is to try to understand it rationally. That can be done, because it appears as though the universe is in fact a knowable place. And that's good, because it means we don't really need any supernatural explanations (all of which are ultimately nonsense).

Let us assume what I suspect you are implying.
That GOD put these ingredients here.
That ONLY defines God as creator -- nothing else!
It still does not prove that there is a personal God who cares about us. And most things I've experienced throughout my life tends to prove otherwise.

There was always something...there was a universe before the Big Bang.
The Big Bang is what gave us all the stuff around us today - before that there was another earlier universe that they are just learning about - so stay tuned.

God didnt get here, he was here. get means there had to be a destination and a time, and before the world and time were created by god, he was there. he wasnt created, he created creation. its something our small human minds will never fully grasp!

yea, what sit ubu said...
But I'll add that here was inside the beginning event... so here wasn't always here...or you could choose to see that the big bang has always been happening ;)
