I just want to say that the omnipotent God of Abrahamic Religions really raises more questions than what it's trying to answer. I agree with Kalovale that everything that exists has a cause. Also, I believe that there must be some factors that are eternal and have always existed. But I think that the eternal factors cannot be something like an absurdly complex being with magical abilities. In fact, I could be talking about some laws here, like time for example. These little factors have then, over time, lead to series of events, and the big bang.
Basically, it goes like this:
Scientific View/Big Bang: Simple Factors-> Big Bang -> Complex universe
Religious View: Complex Creator->*some cheesy magic tricks here*-> Complex universe
Religious View 2: Complex Creator-> Big Bang -> Complex universe
Basically, people who believe in such an omnipotent God, could just as well believe that this whole universe in all its complexity has always been there. Because, de facto, God of the abrahamic religions is a bigger complex than the universe itself.
Then again, even if we'll manage to confirm big bang theory, it could still be part of a bigger image (paraller universe theory etc. etc.) and honestly, personally it doesn't seem all that infeasible.
