From a secular point of view, many philosophers and physicists have (or have attempted to) come up with a theory to explain how the universe began. In fact comogony is the secular term defining the thery for the origin of the universe. In fact it was a non-secular theologian who is credited with fathering the theory of the Big Bang; i.e. the current consensus for our inflationary theory of the universe.

The Jesuit priest Georges LeMaitre was, in 1927, the first to mathematically detail a cosmological study now known as the Big Bang.

The consensus for modeling cosmology was agreed upon based on the work of four scientists: Alexander Friedmann, Georges Lemaître, Howard Percy Robertson, and Arthur Geoffrey Walker. Occasionally referred to as the FLRW, FRW, FL, or RW (e.g., a complete or partial combination of their last initials) Universe, it presents a metric used to explain Einstein's field equation of general relativity and thus became the foundation for the currently understood version of the standard 'Big Bang Theory'.

Example of science theory?

A scientific theory is a structure which explains a set of empirical observations. Some well known theories: Newton's theories of motion: explained how objects moved in the universe. Einstein's general theory of relativity: explained how matter behaves in the universe. Darwin's theory of natural selection: explained why there is a huge number of related species and how new species arose.
