ok so, last year, my teacher tought us about how the Earth was created. He talked about the big bang and such but there is one thing I don't get, all those molecules and stuff came together, how did they get there in the first place? I mean you can't get some thing out of nothing right?

The question is answered with theories and speculations or it is answered by choosing to believe in a creator and intelligent design. Neither can be proved.
People choose one or the other just as they choose moral issues.
A story I heard illistrates this.
A wise man was asked "How can you decide what is good and what is evil?" The wise man said "The good and evil within us is like two dogs in a fight. The white one represents good and the black one represents evil."
He was then asked "How can we make sure that the good wins the fight?" The wise man answered "Either one can win-it just depends on which of the dogs you have fed."

It is such a blessing to see one such as yourself who is willing to think for yourself instead of just "accepting" what is told you. Excellent point!! And THAT, is where the problem lies! Would not some Supreme Being have to put it there? We can't have done it...duh. And if nothing existed or COULD exist before an actual universe, time, matter, etc. except for a Supreme Being, then does it not stand to reason, then, that the idea of a God is worth looking into? I mean they have set up the exact conditions of what the evolutionists believe was present "in the beginning" and, just like something out of nothing, they cannot get life out of non-life. And the accidental or random chances of us becoming a held together network of several cells that know how to do their job (until interfered with) is a number that makes even today's computers cough hack and sputter!! No, there was SOMETHING like a big bang, but God did it.

That's what I think too. Science explains what happened, but not how or why it happened.
I am a person of science but also believe in God and something "out there" we can't understand and never will.
Steven Hawkings best theory was that the big bang happened when all the matter in the Universe suddenly and spontaneously appeared from nothing! How is that scientific? It sounds a lot more like Genesis than science!

The universe has many unanswered questions. And science has never claimed to have all answers to everything. But if we took an unanswered question as a reason to throw up our hands and say "it can't be known" we wouldn't have gotten very far.
Some take not having an answer as a reason to learn more some take it as an excuse to wallow in ignorance. It's possible neither will have the answer in the end but one will be better off and the other will simply think they are.
This is an example of the worst side of religion. It's the only time people will accept a lack of an answer as not only an answer but evidence and proof.

Now today I see an announcement that the total mass of the known Universe may be much less than thought, so here come more questions.
You have heard of matter and energy, I am sure, and possibly also anti-matter, but there is also anti-energy wandering around. Is it possible that if we add up all the energy, anti-energy, matter and anti-matter that the sum total of the Universe will be 0? All it would take is one tiny flaw in the perfection of nothingness and there is the Big Bang.
Or Someone may have simply said "Let there be light." Either works for me.

No one knows. I wonder if the big bang really was the start of it all, or rather a point in a cycle of neverending creation. I think at some point, our universe will collapse back to that singularity and then there will be another big bang.
And who's to say our universe is the only one out there?
Trying to explain creation is sort of pointless, cause no one knows what's really going on.

Some people have used this argument to discredit the big bang. However, the same can be said for a god. Where did the god come from.
I am not an astrophysicist. I do not know exactly what the big bang theory says. If you have questions about it, maybe you should ask it in the science section.

the theroy goes that all the matter in the universe was compressed into a inconcievably dense object smaller than the smallest part of an atom
and one day it started to expand not really explode but just expanding
its still expanding today thats how they came up with the theroy
they figure that if you turn back time that you can watch the universe shrink back to that size

God created everything out of nothing. Man can no more explain this than he can explain where God came from. It is a mystery that is not explained in the Bible. I just accept it on faith, because Christiainity is based on faith.
If someone says they know the answer, beware.

There are some interesting theories regarding this. One is that the matter way always there, and wasn't ever created. Another is that an alternative universe collapses and created ours. The truth is that science is only beginning to understand this. But rest assured that eventually science will know. In the mean time, don't just turn to an easy, non scientific supported answer just because it is easy.
