Well, your question is really more of a metaphysics question if you're asking about how something like the Universe can be created out of nothing. No one knows the answer to that question.
Saying that God created the Universe out of nothing is no answer, because (1) we can never disprove this assertion and (2) we can replace God with the Universe creating itself thus making the explanation one step simpler.
So if we assume for a moment that the Universe created itself out of nothing, and when it came into being, it was a single infinitesmal point of tremendous energy. That energy then caused the tiny point to expand exponentially thus creating all of spacetime and all the energy/matter that we find that exists today. That expansion event is called the "Big Bang". It is not an explosion as we understand it, like a bomb exploding. This explosion is an explosion of spacetime, where space and time expanded, thus allowing existence to have meaning.
Because the Universe has a beginning, we can thus conclude that the Universe is NOT infinite. And there is no "outer-space" that contains the Universe. The Universe is all there is. Existence can only be define within the bounds of spacetime, which is the "fabric of existence" that expanded or exploded about 14 billion years ago.

1) Living things began to form only a long time after the big bang. The atoms that make up the matter you and I can feel and touch didn't even exist at the moment of the big bang. Everything formed as a natural process after the big bang. Everything including atoms, molecules, stars, planets, amino acids, enzymes, living cells, etc... 2) Life evolves to live in whatever environment it has to deal with. So humans live in an atmospheric pressure that exists on Earth because Earth is where we evolved. Life can and does exist in the vacuum of space, it just isn't human life. 3) Not all mutations result in the death of the subject, many mutations produce positive results. Consider why we have both wolves and dogs. Which would you rather have as a pet? Well, the reason dogs are good as pets is because they were bread to increase the mutations that produced docile animals rather than wild animals.

it's been a while since my astronomy class, so i may be off a little bit. i think the name of the "stuff" in outer outer space is called "black matter" or something like that. the theory of the big bang is that the entire universe was held in a tiny form of energy no larger than the size of a pin head. something caused it to "bang" and multiple explosions kept forming matter that eventually formed into stars, plants, etc. Although I don't necessarily agree with the big bang theory, one thing stands out for sure. No scientist can explain what caused the bang. so even is someone believes in evolution and the big bang theory, there is still room for a Creator.

cool theory huh? started with an unknown source and size, exploded to its pre-collapsing size,then started to compress itself. so when its all said and done, then in theory the collapsed universe would bang again? in a never ending cycle taking eternities to complete? neat huh? i still believe in god, cause hey whats it gonna hurt? and youll never know if your wrong or right, and believing in a better being is the sole reason the human race has climbed to the level of compassion and humanity that we have reached.
i also believe the bang, remember the bible didnt say how god created the universe etc, it just gives a calendar as days (which sure arent 24 hour days). but neither the big bang nor the creator will ever be proven, i believe even alot of quantam physics are theory and will most likely never be proven because of the power a microscope would have to have. so it is only based on numerical equations?
and linking string theory? first, the theory of relativity is flawed(not quite perfect, and neither was newton as advances in technology told us). Hey i dont know how flawed, but do know it is not quite right or perfect, and the problem exist in the theorized makeup of gravity. but ever think that following natures own example, the strings wouldnt be strings at all, but spherical like a wildly dancing kernell of energy, its border advancing and retreating, causing its shape to flex etc, just a thought from a high school educated roofer.

Well, as I'm usally forced to say God created the universe because of my religion, in scientific terms, I beleive(dont hold me to this) the Big Bang only created our solar system, not the entire Outer Space

According to current theory, there was nothing before the big bang. No out space, no nothing. The big bang created it all. Makes you wonder, doesn't it?

actually we have no idea that there even was a big bang...its just a theory, but its the best we've got.
the whole universe including our milky way galaxy, is believed to be formed by a huge dust/gas cloud called a solar nebula (made from the reamains of 1st generation stars that exploded)...what made the stars???
no one knows...

would it not make more sense if it started in inner space and exploded outwards,
other wise it would have to be an imploding big bang
and space is expanding ,not shrinking

It is great to hypothesize, guess, argue, debate and so on about this issue but we will never have an answer. Each person has their belief of it.
