It only covers it so far. A simple "what caused the big bang?" question brings us back to square one.

Well, yeah, but there is no solution to the infinite regression problem, right? Adding God to the mix doesn't really change anything.

Ah, but it does change. Given that big bang theory tells us the universe has a beginning, it's not unreasonable to think that something greater than the universe must have created it. One might be curious to see the intentions of this being, if possible :)
