You see, there was this magic rock that’s always existed and one day it just blew up because gravity and shite, and then all these crazy shaped asteroids became planets as gravity and shite made them so, then they started colliding with each other and forming moons and shite, add in some more gravity and magic asteroids hitting planets which carried magic water and magic life hit certain planets, well one that we know of, and then millions of years of evolution, and poof... here you and all these millions of other species, organisms, etc living perfect with one another to sustain life are.
Congratulations, you won the astronomically unbelievable universe lottery.
The end...

Really, the age old 'How did something start from nothing?' question?
I'm a science guy and don't have the balls to place my faith in a future scientific explanation for this one...
Some of the continued Higgs boson, dark and anti-matter discoveries are quite intriguing but I'll play it safe.

Everything as we understand was compacted and superdense. It's what the math as we currently understand it points to.
The problem for humans is despite our imagination, we lack ability to appreciate scale after a certain level.
Like trying to compare a supernova to a flame igniting vs the detonation of a tsar bombs to represent the big bang does nothing to show vast gulf between what are both ultimately creation events.

Over periods of time (time is actually our invention to attempt to make eternal - no beginning and no end - stuff make some sense), periods of time infinitely greater than our understanding, the universe had been expanding and contracting.
The current expansion came from a big bang, and the future contraction will come from gravity. When everything compresses to a point, so dense where there is no subatomic space, the bang occurs.
It is not an explosion per say.
The noise from the last one (there were likely ones before it) is detectable, so is the expansion. We can see it occurring, with no end in sight, using our measurements of time and space.
At some point the expansion will begin to slow and then the contraction or compression of this latest big bang cycle will begin. All of this takes periods of time so great, we have no comprehension, other than to say the time intervals approach multiple partial eternities.
When the compression is complete, another big bang will occur and the cycle will start again.
For this to occur, there must be a "center of the universe" No one has any idea where the center is, but at the moment, everything is expanding out in all directions from that point, where the big bang occurred and evidently, as well as we can see from our position on the field of play, from everything else. Will everything contract back to that same "center of the universe" point? Who knows!
There is a Nobel Prize in physics waiting for anyone who can figure out how to figure it out.
I believe God has all of that figured out, since in the span of eternity, he has seen this happen an infinite number of times over the span of eternity past. He will also see it an infinite number of times across eternity future. That is what it means when we say, He had no beginning and will have no end. After all, time is our construct and not His.
Oh well, I plan on being dead within ten years, if not within the next four weeks, so this universal expansion and contraction stuff, over quadrillions of years raised to powers of quadrillions, makes no difference to me at all.
If I could figure out how to live, and my 401k continues to grow, I would be the richest dead man in the cosmos when the next bang occurs! So I do have that going for me. Sort of like winning the Lottery!

I listened to a theoretical physicist say flat out that nobody knows.
He floated a theory about negative gravity that pushed the entire universe outward.
It was way over my head.

I believe this universe is not the first universe. I also believe that the big bang will happen again.
Black holes will form, join other black holes, become stronger to the point that the universe stops expanding and begins contracting.
A massive ever growing black hole will become the very center of the universe. Eventually, when it has consumed enough (or all)....matter will explode out the other side of the space/time continuum in another big bang.....a new universe is born.
The matter consumed by a black hole has to go somewhere. When enough passes through an Event Horizon I have to believe that the space time fabric has to rip and all that energy and matter explode through the other side.

How Dare You Question SCIENCE!!!!
There was NOTHING.
And then it EXPLODED.
