To dismiss an argument simply on the grounds that it is ridiculous without saying WHY is is ridiculous is called an argument from incredulity ,aka argument from lack of imagination.
What the person is actually saying is "I'm too ignorant,too lacking in imagination or too stupid to think of anything else ,therefore god/aliens did it." Of course many of the dogmatic apologists we get here are all three.
The term 'big bang"is a term invented by the media,not physicists;there was no 'explosion'.
Not at all, I have reasons some stronger than others but you cannot expect someone to ply out all the reasons for it every time they raise the issue.
I don't believe it you I presume do, we can leave it there, I however am ref to the thread's original question.
