The "big bang theory" to quote you is just that: a theory.
So what's a theory? In your own words? Why point out that it's a theory.

The reason why it doesn't try to answer where the material came from necessary for the hypothesis is it doesn't have an answer yet.
Whee, it's fun to make stuff up! Next you're going to complain because gravity doesn't explain where life came from then it's not science either.

Your problem then seems to be with science itself. The answers science tries to find are by definition natural, not supernatural. So of course it's not going to invoke "Goddidit" when it comes to an unknown, otherwise research would stop advancing. "Goddidit" can't be proven or disproven, it doesn't make predictions, it can't be tested.

So ivoking God is a matter of faith. If someone wants to believe that God triggered the big bang that's fine, but there's zero evidence that He did.

Even if the Big Bang had zero evidence then that's still not evidence that God did it, do you agree with that? It's not a one or the other proposition.

Imagine that! It's like someone come up with a theory how a chocolate cake was formed without any help from a creator and without any idea where the ingredients came from.
See you even move the goalposts in your own analogy. The theory you propose is about how the cake was formed, and then you throw in "where the ingredients came from" at the end.

This is why some people get mocked on this forum and in other venues; not because of their religious beliefs, but because of their inability to argue their theories, present any evidence, or make any coherent points.

Not all religious people have an antiquated broken worldview.
