It is religion that makes such a claim, not science. Science can go no farther back than the small bundle of unimaginably high energy that is thought to have spawned the 'big bang', the expansion of the energy that eventually became the universe as we know it. And in fact science readily admits that even going back that far requires a great deal of speculation, even if that speculation outlines a succession of processes that is substantially defensible.

Spontaneous creation of matter (or energy) is not compatible with the known processes of the physical universe as it now exists.

Sources for the Big Bang

Although it is purely speculation, it is suggested that the energy which formed the universe was either 1) already present, or 2) transferred, transformed, or siphoned from another universe, dimension, or reality. At the instant of the Big Bang, the energy density of the singularity would have been finite but almost inconceivably large, such that its release would have spontaneously generated quarks that combined to form all of the matter currently in existence. This mass includes all stars, galaxies, black holes, and interstellar dust, as well the "dark matter" which is only apparent in large-scale gravitational phenomena.

Is there a way to create energy from nothing?

No. It's possible to transform mass into energy according to the formula E = mc2, but energy cannot be created from nothing.


How is a magnetic field created?

A magnetic field is created around the path of travel of any moving charged particle. This is the only way to create a magnetic field, and it is why we call one of the four basic forces in the universe the electromagnetic force. A magnetic field cannot exist without the movement of a charge or charges to create it. Conversely, any charged particle that moves cannot move without creating a magnetic field about its path of travel.

What does energy cannot be created or destroyed mean?

I assume you are referring to the Law of Conservation of Matter. It states that during a chemical bond, energy and matter cannot be created, nor destroyed; the amount of energy and matter at the start is identical to the amount at the end.


Is wind energy created by wind tubines?

Energy cannot be created or destroyed. Wind turbines do not create energy. They take energy from the wind and convert it into electrical energy.

Did Allah create the universe for evil to exist?

No, he did not create the universe just for evil to 'appeare'. Basically, this life we are living is a test. He created the Devil/Demon to see if we would go the wrong way. He created the universe for us to live a normal life, but we are going to be questioned later..

Did God create energy?

The negative energy is spread throughout space. It means that if the universe adds up to nothing, you don't need a God to create it.

What god create the universe?

The question is rather confusing, assuming it asks what god created the universe, that is a matter of total opinion. If you are Christian, Muslim, Jewish you will likely believe that God created the universe, not 'what' God. I personally believe that the universe has existed forever and will exist forever.
