nothing existed, not space, time, matter, or energy - nothing
I love a good story.
Nothing? Well, that's just retarded. We don't know what existed before the Big Bang, and it could be equally possible that the singularity was caused by a Big Crunch - the collapse of a prior universe, in a never-ending cycle of cosmic rebirth. Of course, then you could go into various other theories about black holes, multiverses, M-theory... and it gets really crazy from there.
So yeah... maybe you should try a little harder.
And no, science doesn't have all the answers. Science doesn't claim to have all the answers. And hell, many answers usually just bring new questions. Because that's how humans are. They're naturally curious creatures, and science is another method by which they seek answers. It's not some Grand Source of Wisdom, the Almighty Science. It's a ******** system of learning.
Oh finally someone I agree with. I agree suddenly we're supposed to know the answer to how our universe started when we barely know how it works in the first place? Jesus if we ever figure it out it will be after several Singularities. Honestly the best we can do is keep learning and not rely on some old prejudiced belief system.
