So you don't believe in God, but you believe in the Big Bang. But what caused it?

I don't see why I'm getting negs for asking a question which I've wanted to for ages . But, I'm trying to beat my record for the most negs, so keep it coming bitches.

Why does someone have to have caused it?

Firstly, not all athiests believe in the big bang theory, and even religious people can still believe in it. I think people have theories as to how it was caused, though I don't know them myself. But it doesn't have to be a case of 'who' put it there, but 'what' caused it.

Why do you have to believe that a being of higher power created the world?

Simply put, we don't know.

Pretty much this.

Surely your question should be WHAT caused it not who?

[Above.The.Empyrean]

Although we dont know, we can postulate that primeval oscillations in the quantum world caused an ephemeral but substantial and momentous epoch accredited as "the inflationary period", which through its premise and a theoretical disposition is alluring, but obviously, it is a facet of science that is cumbersome to validate.

What caused the creation of God?

[roverall]

space and TIME started at the big bang so why ask this question???

[constantmeowage]

We don't know.

How does that make your theory obviously correct?

What caused god?

No one caused it as no one existed then.

I think the point of science is that, even though we don't know where many things come from, we can predict what they will do in the future. This case is similar: we don't know what caused the big bang, but at least we can predict planetary motion.

First of all no one as best to my knowledge believes that someone created the Big Bang, it's just things that collided with each other and hey presto we're here! But one could ask the same question, WHO created God if we have established the fact that everything has a prior cause? Mind-boggling isn't it?!

The fact is no one will ever know the true answer!

Nobody knows for sure, unless someone who has found out the answer to this question is being held hostage by a secret service in order to save mankind...

[M'Ling]

"In many cultures it is customary to answer that God created the universe out of nothing. But this is mere temporizing. If we wish courageously to pursue the question, we must, of course ask next where God comes from? And if we decide this to be unanswerable, why not save a step and conclude that the universe has always existed?" - Carl Sagan

Don't know and probably never will. However not knowing something doesn't mean you can just fill in the blanks with whatever you want.
