I’m somewhat agnostic when it comes to believing in God; however, I do believe the big-bang and the universe had to of been created by some higher power. It is too hard for me to believe that this amazing universe came to be by mere chance or that the existence of this complex universe is the result of quantum physics.

If you accept brane world theory then it provides a mechanism for the big bang. However, you can then question where that came frmo, etc. At some point there is a level of inherency about what exists, however I in no way shape or form believe that it is a 'god' as we commonly attribute it to. I prefer tot hink of it as a probabilisitic outcome of quantum mechanics.

This is an arguable subject that can not be answered at the present time. There are 1000's of theories as to what caused the BB but none are conclusive and none are accepted! Also there is no proof of a God, but that does not disprove him either!

Who's to say that it is a scientific phenomenon? It could be a very common thing, we just happen to exist in one of these many universes caused by a Big Bang. The more science disproves theories laid down by religious books the less likely I am to believe in anything said by them, including the existance of a supreme being.

Some believe that the fact that it happened obviously meant that there was a potential for it to happen which in turn means that the singularity was surrounded by a Potentiality field which lead to the biggest kaboom in "known" history.

This bloke farting after 12 pints of bitter and a curry.

They are one and the same, aren't they? "God" is responsible for everything we do not understand,..and for most of what we think we do...(wink). Whatever theory of the BB you ascribe to, you are still faced with "something from nothing", which does not fit into any physical science textbook. If it "blew out" from an infinitely compacted mass the size of a pinhead, from whence the mass? If the mass and potential energy was "always there", how is that more logical than that the "divine first cause" was always there/(here)? And the dog continues to chase it's own tail. Oh, by the way, the egg did come before the chicken,..many millions of years before. (lol)

We will all know the truth when we're dead and gone

I believe a higher power made an extraordinary scientific phenomenon occur.

The truth is this cannot be explained given our capabilities, there are several theories, many of which make no sense. The big bang is studied a lot and there will most likely be an answer to this question very soon, but there may be no real point to this. If you really think about it, The answer to this question will Always be answered with a question, which is simply “then what created that?” Think about it…If and when we do find out what caused the big bang, the next question is then what created that… then what created that? and that? and so on.. even if were to reach “God” you can still ask the same question over and over… This implies a universe with infinite possibilities making anything possible, even the theories that make no sense, but then again this is a theory in and of itself. So it almost impossible, if not impossible to reach a definite answer, not to the first half of the question but to the reason behind it all, which is yet again another theory… If you find the topic of Big Bang and its creation interesting, I highly recommend a short talk by physicist Brain Cox, which you may find very interesting at http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/brian_cox_on_cern_s_supercollider.html

If not God, then "science God" which means we don't know. They both sort of mean "we don't know". It's fabulous.

I have strange theories, myself. What *I* think is that what we know as the 'big bang' happened when our 'universe' was swallowed by a new black hole from another universe. The universe we know is but a portion of that one, that is expanding away from the entrance. That explains why there are advanced spiral galaxies at the 'edge' of expansion, which would be from around the time of the big bang. It also explains why there is no gap in the 'center' of the universe, where we are expanding from. More is being sucked in, and we are being pushed away from it.

There is growing evidence in the scientific community that the big bang may not be the best explanation and that another must be found. The dark matter problems is a knotty one, but dark energy is a much worse problem because the universe is not only expanding, but accelerating that expansion. Basically, current theory has the dark energy taking over the universe eventually. It's something the big bang cannot properly account for. One theory gaining ground is the Holographic Universe theory, which means that the universe is basically a huge illusion. If that sounds too weird for you, it's helpful to keep in mind that quantum physics tells us that reality isn't there when it's not observed and we know for certain that it is fundamentally non local. You can argue that the higher power is consciousness, which you can also find at the quantum level.

A Higher Power or God is necessary to cause the beginning of everything since no matter can exist without an 'observer'. Quantum Theory has shown that events do not happen unless they are being observed by something (Observer Effect).

it's obviously god, in my opinion at least...well everything can be explained scientifically as well as spiritually......we know that the big bang phenomenon in simple terms, means the rapid collision of molecules which caused present day living/non-living beings... the question that we're supposed to look into is "what/who caused the initiation of the first atom to collide with another to cause the next series of rapid collisions of other molecules to create the big bang...or for that matter, who/what created the first single atom in this universe to start the collision with... for me a higher power is the answer....i highly believe that none would exist without god...because god creates matter...even vacuum is a matter...everything is all started from the one atom that He created in order to start the big bang itself from nothingness.... Sorry i was lost into this big bang thing too much...well thats my opinion about it...hehe ;)

I don't mean to be flippant with this answer, but a higher power actually would BE an extraordinary scientific phenomenon. That is if the existence of the higher power could be proven with objectively observable data. Personally, I have no doubt that a higher power is involved, but that is a matter of faith. (I'm a Christian -- Methodist, specifically.) I couldn't prove it to you using the scientific method.

Even the answers will be a theory. No one can prove it happened or how it happened.Logically!!

One in the same.

Its Due To a explotion of a Proton due to high pressure. which further caused creation of Hydrogen atoms and then Heluim. Later Planets evolved.
