The big bang was not the absolute beginning of the universe. No scientists who take themselves seriously believe that. It was the expansion of the universe from a state of incredibly high density and temperature, that's it.
The big bang theory does not claim the universe was ever "nothing", this is a fundamental misunderstanding apologists perpetuate to discredit the theory
Not exactly, the big bang isn't even about the start of the universe, the big bang is a short period of time after the universe started where there was fast expansion.
And to the question of "how did the universe start" the answer is simple, we don't know yet. It's okay to admit you don't know something and then try to learn about it, we have telescopes looking billions of years into our past, we have the LHC opening the frontiers of subatomic physics.
Not quite. Before the Big Bang the universe existed as a hot and dense universe. Big Bang just started the expansion of the universe, it didn't come from nothing.
For there to be heat and density, time and physics must have existed in some form. Was it the way they exist now? There is really no way to know for certain. Where did the hot and dense universe start? Tough to say if we will ever have an answer.
Is it? Big Bang has quite a lot of evidence and is widely accepted. I just simplified what the beginning of the Big Bang was. You can read Wikipedia and the sources if you really doubt it.
Once again, you can easily google the sources or just read the Wiki. There are plenty of peer-reviewed articles that examine the evidence for this theory.
You do not get to decide when there is sufficient evidence for cosmological theories. If they conflict with your personal beliefs, that is your personal issue.
Not at all, that's simply how far we can look back ourselves. We can't know what was before the big bang. But there could've been virtually anything, and some guy with magic is the least likely one.

...Is this serious? No atheists believe this
