The Big Bang wasn't an explosion, but an expansion of the universe.
First, the base theory says it was an explosion, second, so where did the universe come from originally?
Even if the Big Bang was an explosion the assertion that an explosion just produces a crater is wrong.

What your looking at in that picture is radioactive glass created by a nuclear explosion when we first tested a nuclear bomb in 1945.
A similar effect is sometimes caused by lightning strikes. That glass is sand particles fused together from the immense heat. The sand was there beforehand; the blast did not create it. And yes, I saw the picture.
Nuclear bombs are based on nuclear fission (the splitting of atoms) not nuclear fusion (the fusing of atomic nuclei). Star formation is based on fusion not fission.
They are both. Of the two atomic bombs dropped on Japan, one was fission, the other fusion. The modern hydrogen bomb is a fusion type; the first test of the type sank an entire island.
Also not all supernova result in black holes, they can also leave neutron stars.
Who said anything about supernovas? We're talking about creating stars etc. not blowing them up.
The Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny got together one night and the Easter Bunny got the Tooth Fairy really drunk and dropped a few roofies in her last one, and you know how rabbits can get resulting in a "Big Bang" which magically created everything.
So, you have no answer.
The original elements form of hydrogen and helium (atomic numbers 1 and 2) formed as the universe cooled. While this cooling (clumping together of energy) was enough to form simple elements, further fusion was needed to form heavier elements.
Helium is a stable element, so it doesn't like to bond with other elements (including other helium). Also, if this were true, why aren't molecules randomly fusing together and dropping little planets all over the place?
The expansion not explosion of the singularity.
1. What singularity?
2. Where did it come from to begin with? Sooner or later, you will encounter a level where it just can't be formed; it had to have been there before, so Who/what made it?
Isn't it impossible that so many factors would roll the dice in "our" favor every single time without fail throughout the multiplied eons this would take to occur?
No
So why isn't gambling with dice a sure bet? Same laws of probability apply.
So who lit the fuse anyway?
No one, your question here is fallacious as it presumes there was a who. The most likely cause that we know of so far was has it as the result of quantum fluctuations triggering the expansion.
The question has merit. Hydrogen and Helium are not imminently reactive, so there had to be someone/thing that set it all off. Quantum fluctuations? While there is the recently discovered phenomenon of "frame dragging," where a planets mass and gravity actually cause drag on the fabric of space-time and distort time by fractions of a second, that is passive if anything and not volatile in any manner. As frame-dragging is the only known possible quantum fluctuation and there were no planets yet to cause it, how would it occur? And where did space-time and the fluctuation come from in the first place?
For info on Frame-dragging, look up the Gravity Probe A and B satellites and experiments . It was pretty recent.
With that said the only thought I had was that you have no idea what your talking about.
It only provokes me to tell you that you don't really know what the big bang theory is...
Cheap shots are a tactic for the unthinking man. I have studied this theory. I do read quite a bit, and on top of that my father worked for NASA (no bull) and had access to info not commonly available to the public, which he and I would often discuss at length.
May I suggest (somewhat respectfully, somewhat not) that you take a break from the official party line and read some literature from the other side of the argument (specifically, the Creationist side).
For what it's worth, I am enjoying this little mental joust.
