Islamic answer:
Per Islam teachings and per the God holy book of Quran, Allah (or God and same God worshiped in Christianity and Judaism) is the first before any first we know or we don't know and the last after any last we know or we don't know.
َQuran says (meaning English translation) (57:3):
"He is the First and the Last, the Ascendant and the Intimate, and He is, of all things, Knowing."

Therefore God, who created the heavens and the earth, with all that is in them, obviously existed before them, according to Scriptures. In Colossians 1:14-17 and in other Scriptures, it is maintained that Jesus, as eternal God, created all things. John says in his Gospel that there wasn't anything made without Christ. John 1:3.
However, most cosmologists do not see a need for God in their theories of how the earth and the heavens came to be. There is a discrepancy to consider oneself a Christian and then deny the clear teaching of Scriptures in favor of evolution. This should be seen as a conflict with and contrary to that which Christ taught. A Christ follower (a Christian) would want to agree with His teachings regarding creation and other matters. Besides His earthly ministry, Revelation 19:10 says: "The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy," making Christ central to all the teaching of the Bible.
Therefore, if we consider the Bible in the answer to this Question, we find that there is no "Big Bang," but eternal God creating all.
As it is the creation of God, even you can find details about the coming days, end of the world and new earth. If you read the Holy Word of God, the Bible, truly having a desire to seek the Lord, the Holy Spirit will guide you to understand what is His overall plan for you and the universe. You may wonder at this, but the Bible speaks about atomic power, nuclear missiles, and much more advanced arms or weapons which shall appear in World War III.
To deny God's existence then is an opinion, however popular or unpopular, which is not shared by the testimony of the Scriptures, nor has been shared by multitudes throughout the ages, including many brilliant scientists.
· The Big Bang Theory vs Creation: There was no "Big Bang". God was there, here, now, then, and will always be.He created the Universe, not some "big explosion". Science cannot solve everything, this is just a theory.
· Big Bang Misconception: The term Big Bang was actually started as a derogatory phrase, jokingly, first used by the astronomer Fred Hoyle. He supported the Steady State Theory of the Universe and refused to accept the more popular theory that the Universe is expanding. The Big Bang Theory proposes that the Universe started from a single point which was thought to be an explosion. But more recently, the newer version of the theory of the Big Bang has it starting out from a small point that rapidly expanded uniformly until all four physical forces separated from the primordial atom. The four forces are the force of gravity, the strong force, the weak force, and the electromagnetic force. When this expansion stopped, all the stars and galaxies formed much as they are today only closer together. Since we do not have evidence of what existed before this event, it is possible that God used this process to create the Universe since there was no explosion, only an expansion that preceded creation. If there was a 'Big Bang' explosion, there would not be such uniformity that we observe in the Universe.
Timeless View: The bottom line is that God is outside Time because, believe it or not, Time is a physical dimension This means God is Timeless, and so Eternity means nothing to God. Because we human beings are physical we cannot really understand Eternity Past or Eternity Future. [Some believe there are 10, or more, dimensions, according to String Theory].
Among other things, the Big Bang cannot explain where Matter, Energy, and Laws came from: it does not exist except in the minds of its adherents.
Concept of God: It really depends on the concept or definition of God, or gods. If we approach it from a traditional perspective, as those ascribed by the major religions, then we may be quite limited in our ability to account for all that now know is in the observable universe. If we put aside everything that is being currently debated about Creation or the Big Bang and all the theories about other dimensions and just take a look outside on a clear night, only one thing comes to my mind and that is if the God of Judaism-Christianity-Islam had really created the Earth, why did he choose such a provincial little spot and only a handful of people in such a small instance of eternity to give what they say is the most important news of the Universe? If that concept of God really did those things, then it would, by their definition, have required God to be before the Big Bang. If those two concepts do not seem congruous with each other, than maybe we need another definition of the Big Bang or a new definition and perspective of what God may be.
Answer B
Concluding discussions above; from the Islamic point of view that coincides generally with the other two God religions (Christianity and Judaism), it could be stated that God (the Creator) is beyond the human known limits of dimensions (distance, time, ... etc) and imagination. God is existing before the universe and before anything we know or don't know. God is eternal and is existing after the end of the universe and the end of anything we know or we don't know. I wonder that some still in doubt of God existence although they know that God is the creator otherwise how they come to existence. Those; who deny God existence; do so by their brain that is created by God.
Accordingly, the answer is that God exist before the Big Bang (if the theory is valid) and exist after the Big Bang and God is eternal and exist before anything and remain existing after everything.

The existence of God is a matter of faith and belief, not proven by scientific evidence. Some religious beliefs hold that God existed before and/or beyond the Big Bang, while others see the Big Bang as a part of God's creation. Ultimately, the relationship between God and the Big Bang is a complex and philosophical question without a definitive answer.
God created Earth and Heaven
There are thousands of creation-narratives and the Christian version is one. The Big Bang is the scientific answer to the creation of the universe but it still has its faults. The electromagnetic activity and "expansion" of universe indicates there had to be a vast explosion, one that humans can not comprehend because the greatest explosion we have seen is that of a nuclear bomb which is not comparable to the scale of what the Big Bang would have been. The truth is that no one knows but this doesn't mean that we never will and science is at the forefront of finding answers. Creation stories focus on our immediate solar system and galaxy and of course the universe contains millions of galaxies comparable to ours and may contain life similar to earth's. The Christian creation-narrative stipulates that the sun was created after the earth and this is certainly not the case.
"Big Bang" Answers
* "God has stated that He created the universe and all there is in it. Man, rather than believe God's word, has entertained various theories." A reader will look very hard indeed to find a more deceptive statement. It leads the reader to believe that by theorizing the mechanism of creation we deny or reject God. That is a patent falsehood. If God created the universe, how did He do it? He didn't bother to elaborate. We'd like to know. So we try to find out using various means. Science among them. The question is posed as if, when looking at the two choices, an individual contemplating the origin of the universe has to pick God or Big Bang. There are other possibilities. Perhaps these two are put up because they are arguably the most "popular" and are better known. Oh, and who said the creation of the universe by God or by Big Bang are mutually exclusive? Could not God have used "natural" means to create the universe by the mechanism of the Big Bang? There is no shredof physical evidence that will contradict that idea. None whatsoever. Consider the controversy over the behavior of light. It behaves like a particle in some experiments, and behaves like a wave in others. Both sides had bulletproof (scientific) evidence. The scientific community drew battle lines. It got ugly. But cooler heads prevailed. Now we know that light exhibits what is called wave-particle duality wherein it exhibits properties of both. It's not a particle or a wave, but rather a "wavicle" in the jargon of some investigators. The same thinking could apply here. At the risk of being repetitious, let's review. Did God create the universe? There isn't one piece of physical evidence to support that idea. Is Big Bang theory confirmed by scientific fact? No. It's merely suggested. (It's a theory.) Could God have created the universe via the Big Bang? That's another theory. And no evidence whatsoever can be shown to refute it. Welcome to the Custom Burger Barn where you can have it your way.

"God" Answers
* I suppose the answer depends upon in whom you place your trust. Those who believe in God believe that He created the universe and all there is in it. Some further believe that Man, rather than believe God's word, has entertained various theories, none of which have been substantiated to the satisfaction of the Creationist movement.
* All indications would seem to suggest that God may well have used a 'big bang' of sorts to create the universe based on the premise that it all had to have started first from a 'thought' or an 'idea' that could then be put into motion.
* "What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun." Ecclesiastes 1:9
We are not the first forms of life on this planet and under this sun and we will certainly not be the last. Forget what Apostle Paul tells you, the entire universe was not created just for our pleasure, and when we no longer exist it will keep going for much much longer.
* The answer is that God created the universe and there was no other god before God because God already existed always.
* The primary source for the Judeo-Christian belief regarding God creating the universe in a deliberate and systematic series of steps is in the Book of Genesis.
"Other" answers
* It is possible that God created the universe by way of the Big Bang. There is currently no physical way to prove this to be true or not. There is no doubt that the universe is expanding, and if the "film" was "rewound" to the "beginning" of things, then a "Big Bang" is a most probable logical start. Recall that science is not out to prove God does not exist. It proves what it can, and illuminates other things, like an expanding universe and a possible explanation for how it got to be the way it appears now.
* God did not create the universe, the universe was created by means of the big bang and that is final no questions. God does exist no doubt but he did not create the universe, a small ball of plasma kick - started the universe. Just think what the world would be like without gods to worship, it would be chaotic.
* Yes and no. the human mind is a powerful thing. And some believe our universe is made up of many dimensions and planes of existence. If you follow the path of The Christian faith, Then God created the universe. Some would say something created God, and something created that, and so on and so on. Or, you could just believe that the Big Bang did it. In this belief, with all of the multiple planes of existence, every thing is true, and at the same time false.
Scientists tell us that 4 components are required to have a universe. Time, energy, space and matter.
Genesis 1:1 - "In the beginning (time) God created (energy) the heavens (space) and the earth (matter)."
Different people will give different answers. Abrahamic tradition states that God created the universe. See also the Related Links.

Depending on metaphysical sources various gods are supposed to have created the universe. No data exists on whether this was an individual or group effort but as gods are generally a pretty uncooperative crowd none of them admit to having any help.If you depend on scientific studies for your answer, there is ample evidence that there was a change that resulted in the creation of the universe about 13 billion years ago which traces back to physics (not metaphysics). Calling it a big bang is one of the malapropisms common among the folks who have not done much reading in science outside of the popular press. Many competing positions have developed to explain the universe.
God has existed ever since people began to believe in him. Like all gods, when there is no one to believe in him, God would cease to exist.
There was nothing before the big bang
There are two questions commonly asked:1. Is it real, or did God create the universe ex nihilo?2. Did the Big Bang create more than one universe?3. How can the big bang account for dark matter and dark energy?
The Big Bang theory is a scientific explanation for the origin of the universe, focused on the expansion from a very high-density state. This scientific theory does not necessarily imply the non-existence of a higher power or God. Many people see the Big Bang as a part of a larger divine plan or view the scientific understanding of the universe as compatible with their religious beliefs.
The big bang began the expansion of spacetime with great rapidity. The Universe began with the Big Bang. In other words both space and time began at the big bang. The big bang started the Universe from the point t=0.
the big bang or god
The concept of "before the big bang" is currently outside the scope of our understanding of the universe, as time itself is thought to have begun with the big bang. Therefore, it is difficult to speculate or provide a definitive answer to what may have existed before this event.
