Where did god come from?
I always hear people criticizing the big bang theory because we don't know what caused it. Or I hear people say that something could not have come from nothing. So my question is who made god?

You will hear, "no one made god he's always been around." Because that, somehow, is more logical than people saying "matter has always been here no one created it."
God came from imagination, a long, long time ago. He exists, no, only as a form of self-comfort.

If God Was Made, Then Can It Really Be Called God?
Oh, And The Interesting Thing Is The Big Bang Theory Was Founded By A Catholic Father. And The Theory Is Very Compatible With God.

Think of it this way, the Big Bang theory involves basically matter coming from nothing in a chain of causes, people will tell you otherwise and talk of fluctuations and vortexes, but ultimately everything is only explained within proximity, or in other words everything has something else to explain it why it is, but nothing really has a cause. If there is no beginning then there will be an infinite regress of causes, a logical impossibility.
Because if nothing can begin from what we understand of the material world, then there can't be anything.
Here's an example or two. Lets say you really want a book, but this book belongs to someone else so you ask them for it, and they say Bob has it, you ask Bob for it and he says Joe has it, and Joe says someone else has it, if everyone else says someone has the book then no one has the book. Somewhere down the line there has to be the book, it and your search will end. Just like at the end of the causes there has to be a cause that caused it all.
Its like a staircase if you climb down it there has to be a bottom-a first step that's supported by the ground, otherwise the staircase floats in mid air and cannot support itself! Just like there has to be a first cause that is supported by something- That is God.
The thing is when we think of all this we are talking about things confined within the material realm-our universe. It is all made of of material and as we know all material has a cause, however if one should be outside of the material word and time itself ( Einstein's and Hubble's findings state and show that time started w/ the Big Bang) , why would they need a cause?
We cannot treat God as an object of matter that must regress since He is in fact not, because He is beyond that since He made it, completely outside of the universe and time so we cannot tell what "properties" God "should" follow, but we know a cause is not needed or necessary for Him to exist.

For those who believe, it is a name to call their creator. Although I doubt it was spelled or pronounced, years ago, as it is today. Where did he come from, well for us today, from what we have read in books, trusting that nothing has been lost in the translation. The problem comes when we interpret the words. No two people agree, exactly on much of it. "in the beginning", and the rat race beginnings, a day is as a thousand years...we did not "eat of the tree of partial knowledge". We have the knowledge", but for many... We do not want understanding... Because with it would come responsibility. This is why our faith is blind. That is the thing about him that is so attractive, we believe what ever we like & let everyone know they are wrong. In the beginning there was him & nothing... Well which was it..when you think about, they are one in the same. Nothing was hear before every thing & nothing will be hear when everything is gone.

No disrespect, but I think that you don't understand thermodynamics that well, or time, or physics, nor do you understand the theory of God:
--------------------------------------------------
The First Law of Thermodynamics asserts that matter or its energy equivalent can neither be created nor destroyed under natural circumstances.1 One of the logical outcomes of this law is that there is no new matter or energy appearing anywhere in the universe, nor is there any matter being annihilated. All matter and energy in the universe is conserved. Consequently, this law is often referred to as the Law of Conservation of Mass and Energy. Although matter can neither be created nor destroyed, it can be converted from one state to another, i.e. from a liquid to a gas, liquid to solid, solid to gas. The overwhelming experience of experimental physics confirms this First Law to be a fact....
...Since matter is not eternal, we are left with only one option- it arose out of nothing at a finite point in the past! Ironically, the scientific materialist who argues that all matter in the universe arose out of nothing is in agreement with the biblical creationist. However, biblical creationists readily admit that the appearance of matter out of nothing was a miracle, performed by a "First Cause" that transcends the physical universe. The scientific materialist, who believes, as Carl Sagan does, that "the Cosmos is all that is, or ever was, or ever will be," is forced to conclude that the Cosmic egg arose from nothingness apart from any causal agent...
...The atheist immediately protests, "If God made the universe then who made God?" The Bible indicates that God is an eternal, transcendent Spirit.8 Consequently, because time is itself a physical property of the universe which God created, then questions about God's origin are meaningless. This is because God existed before time and He is, therefore, not subject to time-bound concepts such as birth and death. He is outside of time!
Furthermore, because God always existed prior to the creation of the universe and the laws by which it is governed, He is not subject to them either. This means that God was never "young" nor is He aging as dictated by the Second Law. He is outside of our space-time domain and outside of the aging effects altogether.
At the beginning of the atheist's scenario, there is an equally difficult question. "Who or what made that ball of matter that exploded in the Big Bang?" The answer is that the Cosmic Egg made itself, which is impossible on the basis of natural law.
So at the beginning of each model of origins we have unanswerable questions. Atheists may then argue that they are equal starting points. But are they?
The creationist's model begins with an infinitely intelligent, omnipotent, transcendent Creator who used intelligent design, expertise or know-how to create everything from the sub-atomic particles to giant redwood trees. Was it a miracle? Absolutely!

God always existed as a Pure Spirit. He created time, as well as the Virgin Mary. It was she who gave Him His human Body.
God bless!
