The Big Bang is helpful to creationists because it demonstrates that the universe has a beginning (as recorded in the opening lines of the Bible). However, the Big Bang cannot explain the singularity which supposedly pre-existed the Big Bang, nor what caused the Big Bang to occur and upset the presumably eternal state of the pre-existing singularity.
If you suddenly heard a loud bang outside your home, you would assume it was caused. If someone said, "nothing caused it; it just happened", you would not believe them. And yet serious scientists suggest that nothing caused the Big Bang.
Anything that begins to exist has a cause; the universe began to exist; therefore, the universe is caused.
With our miraculous eyes we can see evidence of exquisite design and process this evidence with our remarkable minds.
It takes darkened minds to ignore this evidence and postulate an uncreated, arbitrary, and ultimately meaningless, universe. The Bible also speaks about this: "The fool has said in his heart, 'there is no God'".
There is a moral dimension to life that non-belief in God allows us to skirt around in this life-time. However, when we stand before the uncreated One who stands outside of time and space, our efforts at avoidance will have come to an end.
And that's the way the Ball bounces.

''Anything that begins to exist has a cause''
The deity you worship, according to the above assertion, has a cause. So what created your god?
Vanderhum - The statement is "anything that begins to exist has a cause", not "anything that exists has a cause".
God is eternal, and therefore without beginning or end.
One day you will stand before the most magnificent Person in and beyond the universe to give an account for your life.
The deity I worship is approached, known, and loved, through Jesus Christ.
You are invited to do the same -- why stay out in the cold?
