No no, see scientific Theories make sense and are accepted as being mathematically sound and rational ideas proven by a very long and arduous amount of physical research and effort. Religion is just a bunch of dumb stories.
And how would you know this sirrrr? I could very well suggest the universe came out of LESS then nothing, what you gonna do now??
In addition, no one knows what was going on before the Big Bang since light from before that event has yet to reach us. So far there's ample evidence that at one point the universe was pretty compact though.
First Law of Thermodynamcis is "Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It can only change form."
And one of those forms is matter, according to the equation E= mc-squared. Matter is created from energy all the time (growth) and destroyed (change back into energy) through decomposition.
IF the theories about the Big Bang are true, the first energy was released into the universe. That energy coalesced (condensed) first into sub-atomic particle (quarks, muons, etc), then protons, electrons, and neutrons, and finally into atoms, dust clouds, stars, and solar systems.
Of course, your question is -- where did that first energy come from? Fact is, no one knows. That is a HUGE question. IF the Big Bang is true, then all that energy came from nothing! Some would have you believe that it came from a "quantum fluxuation in a vacuum". Huh!?!?When you get to this level, it makes far more sense that the energy was supplied by a Supreme Being outside the influence of our 3-dimensional universe. In this case, "God said, let there be light!" is an exact representation of the first influx of energy into this universe, and describes a "Big Bang" event as accurately as men 5000 years ago could understand.
An interesting thought, yes?
