If we come from the paradime of oneness, Existence, God, Life, Energy, Love, Spirit, Physical are all the same and part of one another.
We could say that you are not alive because your heart beats, your lungs breathe air, but that your heart beats and your lungs breathe because YOU are alive. And while we can certainly pinpoint the existance of our physical universe, to one single "big bang"... there is a much larger, and more dynamic reality that exists beyond what our fives senses can perceive. That reality was not created, nor will it end. We are part of that reality, made up of the same stuff. So too, we have no beginning, nor ending.

If you pack about 5 kg into a space the size of a proton, that's enough to create all the matter and energy in the early universe.
In a total vacuum, a particle and its anti-particle, for example, an electron and a positron, can spontaneously appear and annihilate each other in a time so brief, they cannot be directly measured. Over time, this causes warping of gravitational fields, which creates energy, which built up until BOOM! the big bang occurred (of course, there was no boom, since there was no matter to transmit sound).
For a brief period, the universe was so hot, no matter could exist. Over time, as the Universe expanded, it cooled until quarks and electrons began to form (from what, we don't know). Soon, the quarks were able to form protons and neutrons, and eventually hydrogen, and the lightest elements were created. Later, the first stars formed out of clouds of hydrogen. When the larger stars reached the end of their lifespans, heavy elements like carbon, uranium and nitrogen cause them to become supernovae.
Most of the matter that supernovae blast into space is hydrogen and helium, remaining from the mass of stellar fuel that powered the star through its lifetime, while some of the matter is the heavy elements, which eventually form into planets around later stars.
Our sun is probably a third-generation star, and all the elements that make up the Earth and its atmosphere, except Hydrogen (mostly in water with trace amounts in the atmosphere), were produced in dying stars.
The early Earth was covered in oceans of lava and was generally somewhere you wouldn't want to spend a vacation. As the planet cooled, water began to form around landmasses, creating seas and continents. The most likely theory to how life began is that a primordial "soup" of various elements, perhaps with a lightning bolt to help the process along, spontaneously formed amino acids, the building blocks of the building blocks of life. Eventually, these primitive amino acids formed RNA, then DNA, then began dividing and life was created. After a lot of trial and error, we appeared, and began using language and tools. Soon, we started using science to learn about the world around us. We invented super-strong alloys and quantum computers.
We created particle accelerators to probe the atom, then the nucleus, then the proton, and finally the quark (as an aside, we could be probing further, but the US government decided to cancel the Superconducting Super Collider project).
Anyway, the point is that whether you believe that the universe was created 13 billion years ago (Like me) or 6 000 years ago, we're all... (NOTE: I thought of something really thought provoking, but I forgot).

And God said let there be ... and it was.... and He saw that it was good. I love you be mine.
VS
Bang, crackle, pop fiss, roll the dice, chance, possibles, and viola a single cell that develops over millions of years into a being with a relatively high degree of intelligence with no purpose other than to eat, drink, be merry and argue against an intelligent designer called God.
Grace and peace to all.

That is exactly what God created it from, nothing. That is what the Bible says. In science when one thing is created there always seems to be an opposite also. Maybe the other half is what science calls the "black holes". Don't know for sure about that. We live after God created energy (work), so no it is not created or destroyed by our actions.

This is more easily understandable if one considers the actual scale of the components of an atom. If one takes into account the fact that the neutrons, protons and electrons of an atom actually have huge spaces between them it becomes clear that the atoms that make up seemingly solid objects are made up of 99+ percent empty space.
This alone does not seem too important till you add the idea that the atoms that make up seemingly solid objects are more of a loose conglomeration that share a similar attraction but never really touch each other.
At first glance this does not really seem relevant, but closer analysis reveals that this adds a tremendous amount of empty space to solid objects that are already made up of atoms that are 99 percent space. When so-called solid objects are seen in this light it becomes apparent that they can in no way be the seemingly solid objects they appear to be.
We ourselves are not exceptions to this phenomenon.
These seemingly solid objects are more like ghostly images that we interpret as solid objects based on our perceptual conclusions.
From this we must conclude that Perception is some sort of a trick that helps us to take these ghostly images and turn them into a world we can associate and interact with. This clever device seems to be a creation of our intellect that enables us to interact with each other in what appears to be a three dimensional reality.
I hope that helps to answered your question.
Love and blessings Don

then that's the time God comes in. Even science hasn't come to the beginning of all things.

Something cannot come from nothing.
The universe began with the Big Bang (or more precisely, the Inflationary Era).
