What caused the big bang?

I have heard tons of conflicting theories on this and don't have enough mathematical skill to perform meaningful research on my own yet. So what was the prime mover or ignition, or what was the most probable cause?

Edit: Thanks everyone! Extremely clarifying.

We don't know.

Our models of physics begin with the big bang - they describe the bang and its consequences but not anything prior to - or outside of that bang.

To the extent that such things are unobservable by us there is no constraint on what can be hypothesised.
