Science alone could never explain it.
Spirituality and faith at least leaves possibility.
I think I believe the possibility over the impossible.

You are correct that science cannot explain it. But your conclusion, that one must "pick" science over spirituality and faith, or vice-versa, is incorrect.
Science answers the question "how" and its related questions- how does our universe work?
Science cannot answer the question "why" - why are the laws of physics the way they are? why is there gravity? why are we here? why is there a universe?
Science explains "how" based on our limited understanding of the laws of physics - that keep evolving as we are enlightened. So long as our laws of physics - our explanation as to "how" the universe works - explains our observations and can predict, science is useful to us because we can build machines, predict what will happen if we ignite gasoline, etc.
As long as science keeps being useful to me, I will believe that it "works" - But I also will believe in the "why" - that our universe was created for a purpose, although I may not fully comprehend that grand purpose in this life and must have faith.

There was no first particle.
Particles are produced in pairs in order to satisfy the conservation laws.
Particles are produced from energy. Space contains an infinite amount of energy (it just does, this is a fundamental property of it), but it doesn't produce particles unless it's to result in a higher entropy state (more disordered).
But if we extrapolate back in entropy what do we get? Not nothingness...

You're not chooing between the possibility and the impossible; you're choosing to show faith rather than to accept that there are things you don't know.
It seems you're using a/the Deity as a rug. Everything you don't understand, you're sweeping under that rug. You prefer to have one Big Thing you don't understand, over lots of smaller, other things that you don't understand.

If you believe in string theory..... then another brane that contain other dimensions which we can't reach in our 3 dimensional world collided with our 3-d brane and caused the transference of matter and casued the big bang. That is roughly what string theory predicts what happened because our laws of physics just break apart and die when we us mathematical equations to rewind the clock to just when the big bang happened

Particles are made of energy !
Energy can not be created or destroyed, it has always been !
If energy travels at the speed of light, can it be everywhere at the same time, relative to us ? yes !
Can energy manifest itself into anything ? Yes !
Can energy make living thinking creatures like us humans ? Yes!
Could energy be called God ? Yes
If energy is God, did he make us ? Yes !
Hmmmm...
If all the above is true, Can we live as brothers ? I think we should try. Christ would have wanted us to, I'm sure.

that is for each person to decide no real answer.
