I know that this doesn't make sense in our Newtonian experience, but it does in the realm of quantum mechanics and relativity. As Nobel laureate physicist Richard Feynman wrote, "The theory of quantum electrodynamics describes nature as absurd from the point of view of common sense. And it agrees fully with experiment. So I hope you can accept nature as she is — absurd."

"To surrender to ignorance and call it God has always been premature, and it remains premature today."
— Isaac Asimov

"As far as I can see, such a theory [of the primeval atom] remains entirely outside any metaphysical or religious question. It leaves the materialist free to deny any transcendental Being… For the believer, it removes any attempt at familiarity with God."
— Georges Lemaître, Catholic priest who first proposed what became the Big Bang Theory

"In the beginning, there was darkness, and then, BANG. Giving birth to an endless expanding existence of time, space, and matter, in the place we call......... the universe."

God isn't a thing that can be created. He's a presence. A presence that's always been there and He said, "let there be light." So the first matter to ever exist must have been a small dot of light. The light then must have undergone a series of energy transformations until it became actual matter and by some chemical reaction... WHABAM. The Big Bang. Then it goes on from there.

We don't know.

The big bang is the furthest back that we have any data about, so at least with our current technology there's no way of knowing what happened before that expansion. It's possible that the universe has always existed, or that the entire universe came into existence spontaneously from quantum fluctuations.
