Or did he just happen to pop out of nothing, which is essentially what the big bang theory is?
Many religious people often say "our world is too perfect to have come through random chance, it must've been created by a higher being, such as God"
My line of logic is "then this God must've been too perfect to just have come through random chance as well, and he must've been created by a higher being as well"
I know what you mean, but thats not only a religion problem, thats how big bang theory is, random chance don´t answer the big bang theory ; scientists asks themselves what made the big bang happen, and religious people ask themselves if God created the universe, who created God?
If god could exist without a cause then so can the universe. That is, if god can be self-caused (or exist without a cause), and then have caused the universe, so, is the argument that the universe may be self-caused (or exist without a cause), and therefore be not caused by god, equally valid.

You only live once. But if you live it right, once is enough. Wrong. We only die once, we live every day!
Make poverty history.
Maybe thats the key to understand this. The usual concept of cause, and effect when thinking in questions like this seems to be self-contradictory, so maybe we should rethink cause and effect to have an answer. Maybe cause, and effect are not always as we think of it.
One thing is for certain........our current laws of physics have not always been applicable. The big bang theory (I still have my doubts on this one) is proof. The laws of conservation for both energy and matter could not always have been true........because at one point both had to be created.
Since the laws of physics have not always been applicable.......but appear to be applicable today this raises two questions.
1. Are we merely at a stable stage in the universe? Is it not possible that at any point in time these laws could become moot again, allowing for creation of matter and energy?
2. Are these laws even true to begin with? Is it not possible that we humans simply do not have enough knowledge of our universe to know how to create energy, how to create matter or how to do anything else contradictory to our current laws.
