We do not know either for sure. The measurement uncertainties too large,

a flat universe with possibly infinite extent from an open universe with possibly infinite extent and a closed universe with finite extent if that universe is large enough.
Expansion makes no sense.
It does. The radiation temperature in an expanding universe is decreasing
with time and its exhibits cosmological redshift -- precisely what we
observe with the CMB and the distance--redshift relation of distant galaxies.
Never was any Big Bang.
There is ample evidence for the Big Bang, i.e. that our universe is
expanding. Your ignorance of the facts does not change the facts.
You are entitled to your own opinion, but NOT to your own facts.
Wasn't created in any usual sense,
Nobody claimed it was, certainly the Big Bang theory does not make this
claim; but it can have been created (i.e. it can be a cosmological
experiment or a simulation by more advanced lifeforms).
but always was and always will be.
We do not know that.
No God.
Possible. Again, the Big Bang theory is not concerned with that question, neither is cosmology.
Since it includes everything, there can be only one.
