How do scientists explain the apparent formation of matter out of nothing during the theorized Big Bang event?

A natural scenario, that is not yet a scientific theory but is consistent with all current knowledge, explains the origin of our universe without the added hypothesis of supernatural creation:
By means of a random quantum fluctuation the universe 'tunnelled" from pure vacuum ("nothing") to what is called a false vacuum, a region of space that contains no matter or radiation but is not quite nothing. The space inside a bubble of false vacuum is curved, or warped, and a small amount of energy is stored in that curvature. This ostensible violation of energy conservation is allowed by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle for sufficiently small time intervals.
The bubble then inflated exponentially and its curvature energy transformed into matter and radiation. Inflation stopped and the more linear big bang expansion commenced.

Things science is unable to explain?
Science is able to explain everything. However that does not mean that they are right. Some scientists feel that man is smart enough to figure everything out so they try. These are called theories. Ideas that haven't been or necessarily can be proven. They have theorized evolution but they have never been able to prove it.
Do scientists know how DNA evolved?
In the theory of how life began, scientists have theorized that DNA evolved through natural selection. The challenge remains to develop a theory to explain how RNA developed from the primordial soup which scientists believe constituted the Earth's surface 3.8 billion years ago. Did evolution start in space, in oceans, salt pans, volcanic exhalatives or in underground cavities?

How does one of Newton's Laws of Motion explain what seems like a contradiction?
Please explain what apparent contradiction you are talking about.
Explain the different cycles of rock formation?
This is not a question.
How did suess explain the formation of mountain ranges?
Dr. Seuss did not explain the formation of mountain ranges. He was a children's author and illustrator known for his whimsical stories and imaginative characters, not for scientific explanations. Geologists study processes like tectonic plate movements and erosion to explain the formation of mountain ranges.
What two major developments helped scientists explain the fossil record?
The principle of fossil succession and the theory of evolution have helped scientists explain the fossil record.
