I'm gonna reaffirm shel's statement.
I believe in a God, and the whole devine power of and over the universe, and I definitely respect the Catholic church to which I belong, but I'm not overtly religious.
I believe church practices are out of date and don't lead us towards God anymore but more so away from God when faced with harsh restrictions and the image of a vengeful God.
Also I think those that mock religion of any kind are despicable human beings.

what is your idea of God? I do believe there is a Single principle behind all creations and evolution is the process...

There are a few theories which address that question: where did the Big Bang come from?
Probably the most widely accepted answer is that the Cosmos--in its Grandest Sense--is a "false" or unstable vacuum in which Big Bangs are happening all the time. In other words, a Big Bang is a quantum fluctuation which brings out a "truer" or more stable vacuum. Our universe is the result of one such quantum fluctuation.
What's more, we don't see these other Big Bangs because they are beyond the horizon of our observable universe, ie, the light from those Bangs hasn't reached us and likely never will.
One can also take this approach...
"Where did this Grand Cosmos come from?"
"God created it."
"Where did God come from?"
"God always was."
"So why not just simplify and say, 'The Cosmos always was'?"
The thing is, bottom line: God and Science are not necessarily mutually exclusive. You can believe in both.

Because the cosmos HAD a beginning; it is NOT eternal.
Second, WHAT intiated the big bang (everything has a cause and is an effect of something else except God).
Third, WHERE did the vacuum come from?
