Congratulations! That is the question that will lead you to believe that GOD exists.
Scientists proved that the big bang started with a steam of water that mathematically equals ZERO in size & density, and before that there was NOTHING, so GOD created this steam of water, then the big bang happened.
"Have not those who disbelieve known that the heavens and the earth were of one piece, then We parted them, and we made every living thing of water? Will they not then believe?"

It all came from the Big Bang, of course. The matter and energy created (or recycled from a previous universe) by the Big Bang is just all around us, but it simply has a different form, and is less squished together.
It's overly simplistic to think of the Big Bang as an explosion. The concept of it can be better grasped by thinking of it more like an expansion.
In the beginning there was an ultra-dense singularity of matter and energy, which expanded rapidly.
In time, it grew less dense, and cold enough to be transparent, and for matter to begin to coalesce into stars and galaxies, which ignited upon formation, fusing hydrogen atoms to make helium.
In old age, the first stars produced heavier elements like carbon, oxygen, etc., up to iron. Elements heavier than iron either appeared through supernovae or formed through radioactive decay.
There are good theories about planet formation, and it is widely believed (at least by scientists) that the Moon was created when a planetary body the size of Mars collided with Earth during the early development of the solar system.
Mind you, the creation and evolution of life are entirely different ballparks.

Right before the Big Bang, everything in the universe was super-condensed into a single speck in a void of nothingness.

If I understand correctly, by everything you mean matter?
Matter first appeared in a trillionth of a second after the big bang, when it seperated from energy. It first appeared in the form of subatomic particles. It took another fraction of a second for subatomic particles to begin forming protons and neutrons, then several seconds more to form hydrogen with traces of helium and lithium. It then took 100,000,000 years for the first suns to form and fuse these basic elements into higher elements, then for supernovae to fuse anything higher than iron. Then it took the scattering of primary elements by supernovae into cold space for chemical reactions to take place forming the common compounds you see today. And billions of more years for common compounds to form simple nucleic acids, and then slowly evolve into the living things you see today.

What do you mean by "everything we see today?"
Do you mean automobiles, planes, buildings & things of the like? Those are all man made items, not naturally occurring. You think the big bang created those? If so you are truly naive. (I say naive to be polite, i mean stupid.)

The big bang. Did you consider this to be a trick question, or are you just asking for help on your church test?

Animals? Evolution. People? Evolution. Plants? Evolution. Cars? Well, that is man but hey he evolved too.

A spot of immense energy? Nobody knows!

...from the Big Bang. :P

why is this under R&S. Go to the science section.
