In the beginning was hydrogen -- that's all.
The more complex elements were created in the bellies of stars, and were released to the cosmos when the stars died.

For this reason, the late astronomer Carl Sagan said that "Human beings are star-stuff." The elements that make up you, me, and everything we see, were once formed inside exploding stars. Isn't that an awesome thought?

Present scientific theory holds that originally the big bang happened. This released a hugh amount of energy into the universe and with it lots of "quarks". In the heat of the big bang the quarks formed the first element hydrogen. This formed into hugh clouds which then collapsed to form stars. ( just of hydrogen very different from the ones we see now which all containt other elements as well). Within the stars nuclear fusion smashed the hydrogen together to form new elements. Helium which is two hyrogen, lithium which is three hydrogen etc etc. Then at the end of the life of a star they explode and scatter all the elements throught the universe allowing other stars and planets and us to form. Where did the energy come from? not sure at the minute but if Energy = Mass time Speed of light squared (E=mc2) then ther must of been lots energy because there is lots of matter. What or who initiated the big bang is up to you?

Logically, nothing starts from zero, and all matter and energy around us can only transform into something else.

So, things have been around forever.

Some scientists look at the expansion of what we call our universe, and assume there must have been a big bang. The expansion itself will continue until exhausted, and everything will collapse into a new pot ready for big bang. This is called a pulsating universe.

Some other scientists believe there might be several universes at different stages (big bang or collapse), referred to as Multi-verse.

To make matters more confusing, yet some other scientists have noticed the current expansion does not match the amount of matter governed by its gravity. There seems to be a lot more that our current science and technology can not detect, but has gravitational impact on us, causing the rip ! In fact, it probably accounts for 97% of what we can not detect. This 97% is labelled as dark matter and dark energy, which could be well into as many as a dozen or so dimensions beyond our tangible 3D !

Scientifically, I suppose the "Beginning" would be the Big Bang, before that supposedly nothing existed, and everything was created though the Big Bang.

The Bible describes it differently, but still, before creation, there was "a faceless void" the Heavens were created after. But still a void before.

I don't think the human mind can comprehend this, or infinity.

The only answer that I can accept is, God WAS; and then God started the creation of physical things.

Ken B has answered the question for you.
A recent Gallup poll concluded that nearly 50% of the American public believes the universe is less than 10,000 years old. Nearly half the population, in other words, believes that the entire universe, the sun and solar system, the Milky Way galaxy, the Andromeda galaxy, and all the billions of other galaxies, all began( according to archaeological evidence) after human biengs had domesticated the dog!

Who created them was God. How he created them was a super atom at the beginning of time of infinite temperature, when this became too unstable it exploded faster than the speed of light (that's why light is only reaching planets now, because they were shot out faster than light). All the heat energy was converted into matter (e=mc2), and antimatter, the matter at the start that collided with the antimatter, but there was still matter left. At the start it was only hydrogen because it was so hot, but as the universe started to cool down heavier elements started to form. This is because gravity caused all the atoms to congregate into clouds of dust and stars, and as this matter then turned into heavier elements as the universe continually cooled.

don't read to much into it. From chaos came order.

But in a more scientifically proven manner, all elements have been found in the sun at some level, thru astro-spectroscopy. This suggests that solar nuclear reactions results in the generation of all of the naturally occurring elements (91 in all). These elements have coalesced into this thing we call a planet.

Genesis 1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
And the earth was formless and void and darkness was over the surface of the deep ,and the spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters..
Genesis 2:3 Then God said "Let there be light and there was light .

I think you have asked the bottom line question for both science and religion. Where did the stuff come from in the first place? That is the point. And the honest answer is, we don't know. It is beyond us. All we can say is that it must have been made by some power or process that is God.
