If Creation is dependent upon a Creator, who created the Creator?
If the Creator didn't require yet another Creator, but always existed, why can't this also be true of all Creation?

You are confusing science and faith. Scientists don't believe in the big bang, they accept it, they understand it, they study it, they modify it, they analyze it. Belief is a religious term. Do you believe in gravity? Do believe in electricity? Do you believe in molecules or algebra or oxygen?
Science is subject to refutation. It proudly announces its weaknesses and asks that anyone who can further elucidate the unknown tweak the theory, do the work (mental and/or physical) and advance science. Religion can be rigid, denying refutation, it claims its own perfection, and it attacks in its more virulent forms, any attempt to be tweaked or advanced.
If you choose to "believe" in a creator that is certainly a common belief. But it is not a belief subject to testing, refutation or adjustment. Faith is not science, science is not faith. I don't understand why that is so difficult for some to grasp.
