- If you wish to believe in the Big Bang Theory or other creation theories that don't rely on a devine being, explain to me where the very first object in the universe came from. They say the Big Bang started from a very small amount of elements that began moving extremely rapidly in a dense state. Well, what about where those elements came from? They had to come from somewhere, correct? Just a little philosophical conundrum.

I don't know how the universe came into being, nobody knows. I also don't have to believe anything, I just see it as something that we will never know (at least not in my life-time).
There is an infinite amount of possibilities, it's not only "Big Bang" or "God", but theories like the Big Bang are way more likely than the outdated and evidence-less theory of God.

I'm still waiting for someone to explain why the universe needs a creator, but God does not. I mean, if we came from something, and it has to be some divine being that's pulling the strings, who's to say that God, the almighty puppetmaster himself doesn't need to have been created. If the universe can't be infinite, why can god?

The universe is beyond our understanding and God is beyond comprehension. You assume that both can be defined, tested, and rationalized. We have the Big Bang Theory, not the Big Bang Fact. With God we have faith, which if you think about it is kind of like theory. People observe existence and theorize that it is the result of a creator.
It is impossible to test the Big Bang and it is impossible to test God. Depending on one's perspective there is evidence of both, but no evidence is definitive unless you witness it firsthand. To believe in the Big Bang is to have a certain amount of faith in science. To have faith in God doesn't not preclude faith in science.
The fact that there are so many scientists who believe in God suggests that science and God are not mutually exclusive. I believe in both and have yet to read anything scientific that is incompatible with God.
Why do you demand everything be rigidly defined, categorized, and isolated?
