This is not a question That I am putting out. So please do not reply to this thread as a question. However it is a question that is out there that many people are still asking.

People has been searching for an genuine fact and legit answer to this fundamental question. Only to find theories, thoughts or assumptions. Theories are not factual; theories are not a permanent or a definite answer. They are just thoughts of how, what’s why’s. Theories are a side step to an answer, not direct to an answer.

If people don’t think there is a God, then searching would be a pointless thing to do. Why waste your time and effort searching something that’s pointless? In our DNA as a human being, we are explorers, we are always constantly searching for something, with that in mind, belief will be part of that search. Once we spent time and effort searching for something and fond it, what then? We have to go to the next step of believing it.

Anyone who comes to God must believe that he exists. While it is impossible to ‘prove’ God in a mathematical sense, the evidence is very convincing. Take the existence of the universe. To call it a result of an ‘accident’ raises many questions – and answers none. The same is true of the ‘BIG BANG THEORY’ Were, for instance, did the raw materials come from? Not even a ‘BIG BANG’ can make something out of nothing! But people seem to skip that part, and don’t research what caused the big bang theory in the beginning. A bang of some sort, cannot explode from nothing, there has to be some sort of material before hand to set the bang off.

This evolutionary idea is wide spread, but just as weak; how can nothing evolve into something? And that’s before we think about the complex life forms on earth.

Most if not all theories are equally fragile. The only satisfactory explanation is this famous quote from the bible. “In the beginning God CREATED the heavens and the earth“Notice the word created in bold? Our world is not the random result of a gigantic fluke involving ingredients that were always there. Instead, the universe was formed at God’s command.

Hard to take in isn’t it? God gave a command, and it happened. From his words, formed a fact, from his command, came a true result. He did not theorize, or gave you a clue to something. God gave a command from his mouth, and it happened. So that what is seen was not made out of what was visible. Creation had a beginning, and it was God who brought it into being. He spoke and it came to be; he commanded and it stood firm.

This is reinforced by the amazing order and design seen everywhere and by the universal laws which hold everything together, from the vastness of outer space to microscopic organisms. But design demands a designer and laws a lawgiver and God is both! “The God who made the world and everything in it is the LORD of heaven and earth”

But the strongest creation evidence is man. Unlike other animals, man has something we call personality; he makes intelligent choices, has a conscience and can distinguish between right and wrong. He is capable of love and compassion. Above all, he has an instinct to worship. So where did man get all these qualities? Neither evolution nor an avalanche of accidents could have produced them. For something that has been created, has to have a creator. A chair cannot make itself, there has to be a creator to design it, then make it.
Man is not an accident, he is fearfully and wonderfully made by a creator, formed from the very dust God created on earth and created by God of the universe and earth.
This is something is hard to grasp and believe.

So here is a question, why is it easy to believe in manmade theories? Rather than to a
ccept and believe that God is the creator of all things?
 
After reading this, I'm left with a few questions myself. It seems to me that you take issue with a theory; but theory in the scientific sense is vastly different than any gratuitous theory we can conjure up. A scientific theory involves predictions of an effect if the effect is true, based on background knowledge or evidence of the hypothesis'. This hypothesis is then thoroughly scrutinized and critically examined, all the while every attempt is made to disprove it. Once a hypothesis passes these tests, has been observed, or has sufficient evidence to back it; it's then tested and repeated until it's a theory.

Regarding the Big Bang theory, it has passed the prediction and hypothesis on many fronts; though many things have yet to be explained as you rightly pointed out regarding something out of nothing; after all, out of nothing, nothing comes. That however, on its own isn't enough to discredit all the positive evidence that does support the theory.

Naturally, a naturalistic explanation doesn't seem to be in the near future for the Naturalist. It doesn't seem plausible to suggest that a Natural explanation can be posited for nature itself; that would be a self-contradiction of epic proportions!
