This is the basic problem. How can life be created from nothing? Well, it's not created from nothing, it's created from atoms, molecules, etc. But OK, how are atoms, etc, created from nothing? Can't be, say the god believers, ergo, there's a god. But...WHERE DID GOD COME FROM??? Here's where the believers lose credibility. God just 'is", creation doesn't pertain to god, etc. Well duh! The same argument can be applied to life, atoms, etc.
We can say that god created time and has always existed.

I don't know if science has any real idea what 'caused' the big bang, although, since time itself didn't exist it may not be a valid question. Maybe science has some ideas there, don't know. But any question you put about 'where' something ultimately came from can be applied to god as well.
They are forced to say that science doesn't know everything.
