the energy or impetus to cause the big bang had to come from somewhere you would agree?

and we call generally god the entity which created the universe

therefore by correlation the big bang came from god

simple

edit: but of course this is assuming that the big bang actually happened, which obviously we don't know for certain

Isnt the bigbang just an expanse of matter? Seems reasonable as atoms are just 99% wasted space caused by the repulsion of electrons. I believe if you removed all that wasted space earth woukd fit into a tea cup. Black holes, from my understanding is just a mass of gravity, it can be caused by collapsing stars and what not. And time can also be affected by gravity to the point it flows slower in in places of extreme gravity.

This is not my field though, i study biochemistry. Physics is so vast and complex, i think this kind of topic needs higher forms of education to really get into it. People dont need 6+ years of research and learning to become a physicist for no reason.

It is also the reason atheists tend to be very well educated because the more you learn the less you can attribute to God(s).

Nobody knows and it's possible nobody will ever find out.

Not everyone thinks that. Some people call it God, others don't call it by any name.

So no, it isn't simple.

fair enough but the same could apply to just about everything

spanish people call eyes "ojos"

but we still call them eyes because that is the name we've attributed to them but regardless the fact still remains that we are still ultimately talking about the same thing

so again its still pretty simple

cause and effect

The scientific evidence for the big bang is overwhelming. The cause of it is unknown, science doesn't claim to know the origins of the big bang all we know is that it happened. Now you can stick God in there if you like and say he started it but there is no way of getting around that all of our evidence (Microwave background radiation, red shift, galaxies receding from each other) indicates that there was an initial expansion at the beginning of the universe (Horribly dubbed the big bang) That is all.

Incase that is too difficult think of the big bang as a piece of rock you find on the ground. We know the rock exists, just was we're pretty damn sure the big bang happened. Just because you cannot tell me exactly where the rock came from or its entire history doesn't mean I can turn around and say that that rock does not exist.

Now it is the job of religious people to prove that an intelligent entity started the big bang in order to be taken seriously by any logical reasoning.

Go back to 5000 B.C. and ask the Greeks where lightning came from and they'd tell you it was a god. Of course we know now that it wasn't, but that's what they thought. You my friend are in the same boat right now.

What caused the big bang? Who knows, but to simply claim it was god because we don't have a definitive answer is as foolish as claiming it was a giant Barnie the dinasaur clapping his hands together. They are both simply unsupported theories one and the same.

what caused the universe was an entity that exists without an initial cause or what some people call god

Don't change the definition of words so that it's impossible for you to be wrong. It's a major cop out. You believe an entity created the universe, that is all. Do not create a fallacy for yourself where you make yourself correct by using made up definitions.

that means that nothing happened prior, that there was no start and will be no end
