We don't know what happened before the big bang. Even if we did, no one knows what happened before that event, whatever it may have been. The current theory is that energy came together before time existed, thus creating the matter needed for a big bang to take place. Those who look down on other people for rejecting the "well it's just always been that way" hypothesis are the reason no one likes a militant believer of anything.
Despite conventional wisdom, there are intelligent people on both sides of any aisle. Pontificating that you're liberated from a "control system" (implying that atheist have never had a control system that has killed millions of people for being different) or that you're on a higher plane of scientific thinking (implying that theist don't have the mental capacity to understand atheism or haven't ever looked into current theories) doesn't truly say anything about you, except that you're yet another person searching for answers.
I've been on the border of atheism and deism for the past several years of my life. I've just recently started to lean deist. A major reason my beliefs have slowly changed is that I've come to realize that atheist don't really know and understand our origin like they claim to. The same can also be said for theist, especially of revealed religions.
Conclusion: No one truly knows and different people come to different conclusions for different reasons.
If you don't have the answers regarding our origin, don't pretend that you do and that people who disagree with you are somehow below your way of thinking.
