I'v been into learning about cosmology and How can it occure Without a cause/creator ,but I'v been having some trouble getting into the details of the big bang because I'm Not quite well informed in Physics , so, I thought i would ask these questions here ;
1- Was there any kind of "existence" before the big bang occured? - did energy exist before the big bang? 2- what Caused the explosion without a creator or another "source" / where did the explosion energy come from ? 3- If there was no existence of any kind before the big bang , how did matter come out of "null" without a creator ? |

2) Nobody knows. One theory is that there is no total energy. The entire universe, if you add it all up, would amount to exactly zero of everything. Past that I have no idea. 3) Beats the hell out of me. Science can take a stab at what happened way, way, way back, up to much less than an atosecond after the Big Bang, but before that it's pretty much unknown, and possibly unknowable. |

The answer to all 3 of your questions is: we don't know. The standard Big Bang model has nothing to say about causes or priors. Read all about it here:
