Everytime someone told me about big bang theory or the idea of no supreme being, it makes me think if that person observed his surrounding hard enough.
Look around you. There are jus too many amazing things on this earth to exist accidentally. Take a moment, look at the sky, the birds, the nature, your eyes, your friends and the universe. It is too stunning for probability to take place here. If not for a intelligent being, how can all these exist? And if not for God, who else had been made known? Forget about the extraterresstrials, signs of God's existence had been left before you were born - Bible, Jews' history, Shang di.
Anyway, Charles Darwin had never doubt the existence of God. Though he was muddled about God, he somehow believes that evolution theory had got some compatible points to God. (a)

Why I am a Christian
Bertrand Russell wrote a book "Why I am not a Christian". I will now say, why I am a Christian.
(Note: Entering Philosophy class)
1. Cosmological Argument/ Argument from First Cause
Everything on this earth are finite. You can only write numbers as many as your days are numbered. You can only drink till you are drunk. You can only be as good as human can get. The reason for these finity is the infinite Creator. Nothing can exist out of nothing. There must be something.
Aristotle refers the Infinite as Prime Mover
Plato refers the Infinite as demiurge
Thomas Aquinas refers the Infinite as God
Simplification:
Thomas edison was playing with his toy globe which can move by itself. He invited his friend, an athesis, to come and view this beauty. His friend asked Edison if he bought it somewhere or he made it. Edison answered that it exist just like that. His friend looks at him and smirks saying that the creation cannot exist without an creator, someone did it. Edison replied, "then why will the earth goes without a creator?"
Bertrand Russell once asked who created God. And I say, God is the uncaused cause (term by Aquinas), nobody created God because He is the Infinite.
Furthermore, how can human (finite) understand God (infinite) when human cannot even understand so many other finite (none of us know everything).
Assuming there is a God's god, why will I even care about him? Because I know this God had loved me and revealed Himself to me whereas no other supreme being has. If someday you may be acquainted to God's god, he may just kill you.
I'll just stick with my cosmological and no smart alec.

Bible Foretelling Science
In today's world, we use science to assure and logicalize our Bible. But thousands of years ago, when science is still in his Siberia, Bible had foretold many things in today's world.
In the earlier days, the earth was widely believed to be a flat piece of land floating on water and is supported by sorts of pillars. Isaiah (approx. 740BC) & Job (2500BC) states otherwise.

Isiah 40:21-22 Earth Is Round
Have you not known? Have you not heard? Has it not been told you from the beginning? Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth?
It is He who sits above the circle of the earth, And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers, Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.
Job 26:7 Suspended In Air
He stretches out the north over empty space; He hangs the earth on nothing.
Luke 17:24 The Revolving Earth Which Results In Day And Night
For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.
Job 28:5 Core Of The Earth Is Molten Larva
As for the earth, from it comes bread, But underneath it is turned up as by fire
revealation 11:9 Coming Of Television And Satelites
Then those from the peoples, tribes, tongues, and nations will see their dead bodies three-and-a-half days, and not allow[a] their dead bodies to be put into graves.
nahum 2:3 Military Tanks
The shield of his mighty men is made red, the valiant men are in scarlet: the chariots shall be with flaming torches in the day of his preparation, and the fir trees shall be terribly shaken
