I know about the big bang theory and everything, it's Just that i don't understand how all that energie could have came from a black void.
Please tell me how this possible.

Physics can run the clock back so far to the point that the universe and everything in it was smaller than an atom. In other words, the universe was a true creation from nothing, the only example of such a thing in all of history. To me, creation implies a creator, therefore I consider the big bang to be evidence of a creator. Just my opinion, tho.
PS - "..from a black void" you ask? There wasn't even the void prior to the bang, nor time, nor mass , nor energy, nor even a "prior"
PPS - Added after seeing the note below from the atheist - By "God", I mean the creator of this universe, apparently intelligent, and I doubt he has a long white beard and billowing robes. I've thought all my long life about this, would not pretend to discern his/hers/its or even MY purpose, tho to me, one of the more likely motivations for this creation might be procreation, of a sort. But who knows..
...and are you sure you're an atheist? Doesn't an atheist deny any intelligent design of the universe?? 8^)

The Big Bang theory doesn’t say anything about what caused it because, well, it doesn’t need to. Theories don’t try to explain everything, just what evidence is available and pertinent. Asking the Big Bang (and Evolution) to do more than this is a double standard. After all, the theory of Gravity doesn’t explain where mass came from. The Germ theory of disease transmission doesn’t explain where germs came from. Electro-magnetic theories don’t explain where charge comes from. Atomic theory doesn’t state where atoms come from.
So while it might seem like a piece of the puzzle is missing, as far as this single theory is concerned, it’s not really important. The origin of all these other pieces requires separate theories, with their own evidence, which are being worked on, but often times, are still in their infancy (ie, brane theory to explain the precursors to the Big Bang, Abiogenesis to explain the first life…)

There is no working theory for what initiated the Big Bang. As a life long atheist I think as likely as not the Big Bang was engineered by an advanced intelligence either singly or as a species. It may well have been because their universe was old and they needed a new one, or it was done as an experiment or for some other reason beyond our understanding. In 100 years or less however we will be as advanced and will have the answers regarding the Big Bang and everything else.

Not from a black void, but from a "cosmic egg". Enery can neither be created nor destroyed - it can be converted from one form to another. Therefore, the implication is that all that energy is contained within the "cosmic egg".
If we were to visualise the reverse process taking place - that of black holes sucking back everything into their paths of gravitational pull, and with more black holes coalescing together to form even more massive black holes, and hence even much more massive gravitational forces, such gravitional forces would by then be changing the whole structure of space/time within the known universe, and there could be a stage when SINGULARITY could be reached and so much energy and mass is contained within zero space and the next stage of BIG BANG may start all over again.....................

Check the new theories about the branes, big bang is old news

The Universe exploded into existence when the black void, that was there before the Universe, had a ripple in it.

It isn't possible...without God, that is. That's why that theory is so ridiculous! And you said the magic word. THEORY. Today, people seem to think that it is scientifically proven, but the latest research is actually proving against that. Have we become so "smart" that we don't need God? I hope not!

that, my friend, is the only problem with big bang!!!
