A scientific theory which describes the history of the universe from a time when the universe was roughly 10^-43 seconds old to billions of years into the future. The Big Bang is the most successful cosmological theory ever conceived for explaining every observation that has been made to date.

Curious child: "How was the universe created?"
Guy who thinks he knows everything: "The universe was created in the Big Bang, where there was a huge explosion, and all the matter was spread everywhere."
Child: "What exploded?"
Guy: "The universe."
Child: "But then the universe existed, it was just small."
Guy: "Yes."
Child: "Then how was the universe created?"

A quite viable theory that states that the universe was at one point a tiny piece of hot mass. At some point, an unknown factor caused this hot piece of matter to explode, causing our universe to be born. The intense explosion is called the "Big Bang". Evidence for this theory exists in the form of Galactic seperation. This is what happens when galaxies repell away from eachother at extreme speeds. I think this is much more plausible than "a great being was bored one day and decided to create the universe"
Christians tell cosmologists to read the bible for the way the universe was created. Might i remind you that the same book stated that this earth was only 6,000 or so years old.

A disproven theory that people bring up all the time anyways. If all matter was at infinite mass and infinitely small density it would not explode, it would become a black hole, the universe would end where it had begun. The universe has always been here and always will be and there is no easy happy way of looking at it. Don't believe me? Ask Hawking, and then stfu about the big bang.
Johnny: I believe in the big bang theory!
Bobby: ::breaks Johnny's jaw:: the universe has always been here and always will be, stop believing in any and every dumb little theory that makes you feel more secure in your existence and live with the fact that you'll never understand it.
Johnny: Well the broken jaw isn't so bad now that you've helped me no longer be a pussy! Thanks Bobby!

Let's clear things up.
Time is not linear, neither is the expansion of the universe. As the amount of mass in the universe decreases time slows down.
In the big bang theory, the universe was a point of infinitely small and infinitely dense material.The universe started to expand, and as it expanded, time sped up, creating a seeming explosion in the size of the universe, but in reality the expansion rate is relative to the speed of time and the size of the universe. By this logic, time is speeding up as the universe expands.
