Newsflash: this argument is ineffective because whether one is a creationist or thinks the Big Bang happened on its own, the problem is the same: "from where did God come" on one side and "from where did the materials that spit forth from the unguided Big Bang come" on the other. Neither has an upper hand, and therefore your question is pointless.
That's an awful, awful analogy. A book isn't a living breathing thing, whereas life as you mentioned it (obviously) is, specifically life being unable to arise out of non-life.

also: you didn't answer #2 and #3 - without those I can't put any context to your answers.
