It cant be convincingly explained. People who are not Christians stumble here because they request the leap of faith (science will work it out) that they deride in Christians. The fact is, in my opinion, that there is a level of understanding beyond human. We will never understand, we are unable to. The Bible is God talking to us from that level of understanding in terms we can understand. That is Faith underpinned with logic.

One of the most important aspects of Quantum Mechanics is that it shuts the door on knowing. Random means "we don't know". So a random event is simply an event whose cause is unknown. Calling something random doesn't explain anything except our own ignorance. We observe effects that have no cause and call it science but there is no power of prediction so it isn't science. So QM doesn't explain the mystery, it documents the mystery.

The big bang is a much more plausible theory than intelligent design for several reasons. First, the universe had to begin somewhere. A god or gods couldn't have just created themselves. Since there's no evidence of a deity, why couldn't it have began with the big bang (or whatever actually happened at the dawn of time)? Second, if God was as described in any holy text, he would in actuality have a lot of flaws that I don't feel like describing at the moment. Just because we don't understand exactly and conclusively how the universe began doesn't know we'll never know. Sure, it may seem infinitely out of reach now, but we're on the path of knowledge and in my opinion, knowledge is the best path for the human race to be on.

My money is on random acausal events. Anything else leads to logical impossibilities. It's worth remembering that quantum mechanics says there is no such thing as absolute nothing - that's a human concept that cannot exist in reality, so it's not possible to have a state of complete nothingness for a something to be created from. Hence a creator cannot exist.
