How did the universe occur?

One of the theories is big bang.

But before big bang what was there?

How did the first material occur?

The other theory is "god created the universe".

If we ask the same question:

What was there before god?

It's told that "god always has existed".

What do you think?

What's your opinion?

These questions are cannot be explainable. I have ask myself same as you but i didn't clarify out from me xD. According to religions there is a God from the beginning but they cant tell u what is meaning of the beginning. My first theory was there would had been another universe before us. But then i thought it's going to be a circle repeating itself. Nowadays i just believe in science

I think big bang created the universe.

Science community finds the big bang theory accurate(mostly). I also think the universe began with the Big Bang.

But nobody knows the real answer. It's just a theory. And we won't know until time travel happens.
