As scientists suggest it as a possibility... then yes. But is that a theistic claim? Seems to be outside the realm of theism to me.

Are you just being intentionally obtuse? I'm not going to play games with you: Genesis depicts creation out of nothing via some form of divine magic, the majority of other creation myths generally begin with something coming out of nothing- most importantly- in a way that is fundamentally incompatible with our understanding of the world.

You would agree, I hope, that many of the things god does in the bible- I'm thinking miracles, here- are far outside our scope of understanding?
