There are answers to these questions, roadie. But you are not correctly formulating the Big Bang....its not like a giant atomic bomb or something. Let me try to give you the non-technical version of it:roadie432002 said:look at outer space.we dont even know how large it is.does space end?if it does whats on the other side.if a big bang caused it all where did the material that caused the big bang come from?what made it blow up?i have never known of an accidential uncontrolled explosion creating anything but destruction. just a few thoughts.
The general concensus is that the universe began as a very tiny 'piece' of space and time. A tremendous amount of energy was bound to this space. Some kind of event caused the expansion of this space into the universe we have now. (And the theories are not clear on the first cause...although there are some proposals on the table).
Where did the material come from? Well, Einstein tells us that matter and energy are interchangeable. If you have alot of energy, then matter can appear as the energy is transformed into it. This is not science fiction. We have reproduced such conditions in particle accelerators, and we see lots of different kinds of matter particles form from energetic collisions.
While the big bang should not be characterized as an explosion, you should know that it does have some features in common with one. You mentioned 'destruction'...well, not exactly...but the universe is less ordered than it was before the expansion. If you think about what happens when a firework explodes, the universe today (the galaxies, etc) are somewhat similar (although the firework analogy is really not a good one at all...but it illustrates the point).
Remember that the Big Bang does not disprove God, rather it simply seems to be the tool He used for creation.
