Where did everything come from?

I don't want religious answers. My question is this, i understand the theory about the big bang (at a very basic level), but what i don't understand is where all the matter came from, i mean it cant just have all been there from day one, at some point it must of been created, how?

    God created even your Big Bang

    First, matter can be converted to and from other forms of energy. (Matter is a form of energy) That is what nuclear energy and nuclear weapons are based on.

    Also, subatomic particles and their antiparticles (matter and antimatter) can be and are created out of the vacuum. Conservation of energy requires that there be sufficient energy in the vacuum to allow their creation.

    So the real question that you should be asking is where did the energy come from. Conservation of energy need not be a problem for cosmology. The gravitational field that permeates space has a negative amount of energy, which supplies the energy for the constituents of our universe. When matter was created from the big bang, the gravitational field dropped to a negative value for its energy, so the total energy of the universe would always remain zero.

    Current thinking is that the big bang was caused by a quantum mechanical fluctuation in a preexisting universe. This preexisting universe could be thought of as sort of a "primordial chaos" or a "primordial chaotic soup". Completely disorderly, just a bunch of quantum fluctuations occurring, it would be an eternal, timeless, space-less realm from which our universe formed.

    The order in the universe also would have had to occur at the expense of a greater amount of disorder, due to the second law of thermodynamics. This disorder occurs in the form of our universe's expansion. The more volume something occupies, the more disorder it contains, because of vacuum "jitters" occurring as a result of the uncertainty principle. So the ordered structure of matter in our universe is possible because space is expanding.

    No one knows for sure, unfortunately.

    It's pretty clear the entire universe was compressed into a very small space, in some solutions a singularity, in other a "big crunch" (still a small area), and expanded out from that. It was dense plasma, which turned into mostly hydrogen, which formed gas clouds, which compressed into stars which when supernova, which in turn created the heavier elements that we (and planets) are made of.

    Whether the big bang was the result of a huge black hole elsewhere, or the collision of two "branes (a la String Theory), or whether just part of a larger "Multiverse", no one can say for now.

    Reality and REAL science and experimentation ALL suggest that everything contained requires a container.

    Math suggests that life and existence is impossible.

    Experimentation suggests that nothing cant create something.

    0+0=0

    Every living species came via another from origin.

    A cell can NOT just obtain reproductive information from zero and a cell with out information can NOT survive.

    Evolution of the biological has been scientifically proven FALSE.

    evolution of the biological suggests that via positive mutation and an increase of information in order for the species to survive better than the lesser species is the evolutionary process.

    Ape to man.

    All apes still hear.

    Man still hear.

    No living intermediates.

    All intermediates proven fully man or fully ape.

    All intermediate fossils prove evolution negative mutation as the intermediate did not survive better than the lesser species.

    niche for Ape to man.

    Ape have NEVER been witnessed to compete with greater species but only that which it belongs with or weaker lesser species.

    We were created some how.

    you decide.

    Don't be fooled by the so called intellectuals.

    REAL science and basic observation disproves them.

    Don't let them tell you that virus such as Aids is proof of evolution as Aids and virus only adapt in order to destroy that which it inhabits and eventually destroy itself.

    Don't let them tell you that you are closer related to Apes via similarity. A cat is similar to a dog but both are separate species.

    DNA does not suggest a connection either as we are a close match to tobacco than to Ape plus we also share 50% of banana too.

    hope this helps you friend?

    ok ill phrase this in a simplified way

    the universe was literally one tiny point, that was infinitely dense and infinitely hot, then the Big Bang happened and the universe was formed

    that is as basic as you can get

    oh and dont ask what was the tiny point floating in, because the entire universe was the dot, meaning there was nothing else around it, i dont even quite understand that

    I love how christians say god made it out of nothing, but god was never made, just always was.

    Either some guy who lives in the sky made it to **** with humanity, or we all evolved from pond scum or exploded from something...

    I just love how blindly christians will swear it was god. Maybe there is some creator, but not some father figure who has a son and a ghost, but also IS the son... Makes no sense. But a christian will argue for hours that it doesn't have to, it's god.

    it was God i mean seriously just think about it where did the planets come from? how was the universe made? i hear from some people that mass caused it all or something weird like that, if thats true should we all worship mass as a God? IMO i think there is a God, a supreme creator, we couldn't have all just appeared on Earth....
