Something started the big bang.

Sadly, the Big Bang is as far as we can see back in time (CBR), so answers to questions like this, if we are ever able to answer them, will be theoretical.  So we dont know what caused it, or if anything caused it.

The Big Bang could be a natural occuring even in the universe (similar to quantuam fluctuations), it could be the result of an ongoing process in the universe, or it could have no cause whatsoever.  Its may be an error to believe that everything has a cause, and any cause-reaction path you takes leads to the universe being created or God being created.
