Since atheists and non believers think the big bang theory is "true", what exactly created/caused it?

As long as the Universe was thought to be eternal, Atheism had a chance. With unlimited time, it was logically possible that eventually the pieces needed to create and sustain life would come together.

But now that the Big Bang has proven that the Universe is not eternal and, in fact, is only 13.7 billion years old, that argument no long holds water. It is mathematically impossible that in only a short 13.7 billion years that all the pieces needed to create and sustain life would come together by accident.

Not to mention that the fact of the Big Bang (and Occam's Razor) lends support to the idea of creation by God ex nihilo ("out of nothing").

In 1951, Pope Pius XII gave a speech before the Pontifical Academy of Sciences discussing the Big Bang theory: "…it would seem that present-day science, with one sweep back across the centuries, has succeeded in bearing witness to the august instant of the primordial Fiat Lux [Let there be Light], when along with matter, there burst forth from nothing a sea of light and radiation, and the elements split and churned and formed into millions of galaxies."

By the way, it was Georges Lemaître (1894–1966), a Belgian Catholic priest and professor of physics and astronomy, who proposed what became known as the Big Bang theory of the origin of the Universe. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georges_Lema%C3%AEtre

I also suggest you read Robert Spitzer's book "New Proofs for the Existence of God: Contributions of Contemporary Physics and Philosophy"

With love in Christ.

Science explains the big bang was not from nothing but from a singularity that was all the matter and energy in the universe compressed into a single point that then expanded rapidly!

So it was always here!

But why are BAD Christians always claiming the big bang came from nothing? Are they that ignorant? Did they sleep through school or is it that they know the truth but think they can twist it because everyone is gullible?!

The Pope, Catholic Church, Church of England and mainstream churches all accept the big bang and evolution!

Lord Carey the former Archbishop of Canterbury put it rather well – “Creationism is the fruit of a fundamentalist approach to scripture, ignoring scholarship and critical learning, and confusing different understandings of truth”!

Nice that Christians and atheists can agree and laugh together even if it is at fundie expense!

But behind the laughter is the despair at the fundamentalists striving so hard to destroy Christianity by turning it from a religion to an ideology!

Surveys suggest that 29% of American Christians are so extremist in their beliefs that they fall well outside of the accepted bounds of Christianity!

If god is true what created god? What or who created the creator and so on... Christians argue that something can't come from nothing to disprove the Big Bang theory now support that argument. The difference is science does all that it can to get the answers whereas Christians say God did it he needs no creator and that's the end whether they no or not that that is totally illogical is personal

No, atheists and nonbelievers just don't believe in invisible magicians. That doesn't mean that they have cosmological theories. Your question shows that you do not know what the Big Bang Theory is. Try learning that as a starting point and try it again, please.

"Does it mean, if you don’t understand something, and the community of physicists don’t understand it, that means God did it? Is that how you want to play this game? Because if it is, here’s a list of things in the past that the physicists at the time didn't understand [and now we do understand.] If that’s how you want to invoke your evidence for God, then God is an ever-receding pocket of scientific ignorance that’s getting smaller and smaller and smaller as time moves on - so just be ready for that to happen, if that’s how you want to come at the problem."

~Neil deGrasse Tyson

-If the Universe needs a creator, why doesn't god?

If god doesn't need a creator, why does the Universe ?-

we do not know.

that is no reason to think "god did it"

Perhaps it occurred because of quantum fluctuations.

--------EDIT--------------------

@ Chipper,

Matter has not always existed. Energy has always existed since the Big Bang

I think it is estimated that it took 300 000 yrs before the universe cooled enough for the first atoms of hydrogen to form.

I have no idea.

That doesn't mean I should automatically default to "Goddidit", though. It simply means I'm not a quantum physicist.

It doesn't require creator, the cause is yet to be scientifically confirmed if possible.

It does seem odd that people cannot believe that God always existed, when they readily believe that matter always existed, and that life sprang from lifeless matter. Life must come from life. The inorganic cannot produce the organic. Life must have always existed for there to be life now.

The beginner of space-time it self must be timeless and immaterial. Those are the attribute of God.
