Where did the Big Bang Come from?

I'm not getting involved, but you're missing his point. 

People who believe in God do so, and thus Evolution and The Big Bang (which, I'll be honest, I thought were pretty much unanimously accepted) are unusual concepts which are tough to believe.

Similarly people who deny God's exsistance see religion as unusual concepts which are tough to believe.

I'm not going to say which one is right, but the constant yo-yoing like this is (and as it will continue no doubt) will get us nowhere, because it's a clash of beliefs. 

They are.  The overall issue with the Big Bang is that to truly understand it competely, the amount of knowledge you need in Quantum Mechanics is steep.  Otherwise, people wouldn't be bewildered at the thought that something could come from nothing.  Though, people could simply read A Univers from Nothing, by Lawrence Krauss, which may help them understand some of it (hard read, though he does what he can to put it all in laymans terms).

You don't need to know how a car works to drive, though.

By that I mean; you don't need to understand at a quantum level the Big Bang to think "that's what happened". It's very much the same thing with religion, which is the parralel I was trying to draw.
