You know, like the molecules, atoms and protons, neutrons necessary to make "something" like a single star? I know no one has the real answer, but I'd like to hear the theories everyone has.I think it is the biggest mystery in the Universe.

The problem is that there is a presumption that there was nothing to start with .
How about the concept that there always was something, just like the theory that space goes on forever.
I don't know exactly how whatever occurred did so, but we always have been so accustomed to limitations that it is really difficult for us to imagine something as being forever.
My understanding from what I have read and watched on the science channel is that all of these particles, atoms, and molecules all compressed together and over a period of time got very hot and basically exploded resulting in what we see when we look into the sky at night.
I know this is a simplified version of a very complicated series of events, but there isn't enough space to put in here all the information.

You've probably heard of Stephen Hawkings, the guy in the wheel chair. Probably the most respected astrophysicist in the world. He does complex calculations about what was going on like 14 billionths of a second after the big bang. Well, when somebody asks him what was going on before the big bang he calls a foul. He says that since space & time began at the big bang there was no time before that. Yeah, it sounds like a cop out answer but that's how these guys think. They believe the big bang started all matter and energy but they don't have a clue how or why. The Vatican believes it may have been the creation act by God.

There wasn't even 'nothing' before the big bang, no time, no space, no matter, no energy.
How?
Some omnipotent being said either (depending on the source you rely on) : "Let there be Light!", or "I Am!!!" (and it may have been both, a pun!), and suddenly space and time exploded open, allowing quarks etc to develope and combine into primitive atoms like hydrogen, which attracted each other until enough collected for their attraction to 'crunch' them enough to start a fusion reaction, making the hydrogen into helium, and eventually producing other atoms like oxygen or carbon, without which life could not occur.

There wasn't nothing before the Big Bang (apologies for the double negative). What was there was superdense matter that exploded. Why? That's not really the realm of science. How? For that, you need to start reading books on cosmology.

You misunderstand the Big Bang theory. It is not that nothing existed before the Big Bang. Moreover, cosmology has progressed a long way since Big Bang.

Well saying "god" doesn't answer anything. All that does is move the question to where did god come from.
I think everything always was here in some form. It doesn't have to be matter, because matter and energy are just different forms of the same thing.

That is exactly why there had to be a God. He assembled Matter, Time and Space and set it all into motion in the Big Band. "Let there be light" He must have created all of the rules of chemistry and physics so as to make life possible.

The real answer is; God is energy and the coldness of space slows down some of His energy and makes it solid. That's why the scientist keep finding smaller and smaller particles.

Genesis 1:1--In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Yes, God really did create it all. Everything that we see, even things we can't. Sorry, ya'll, but we were not created from pond scum.

I know u believe in God, saw your question before. So do I, creationism is the only logical reason for existance not evolutionism.
