Wouldn't the origin have to be something (1) natural, (2) nothingness/null/void, (3) supernatural, or (4) paranormal? One might argue "we don't know" which I can appreciate, but it would have to fall in one of those four categories, right? Thank you in advance for your responses to get the conversation rolling!
1) Well matter does beget other matter the whole time (well to be precise, it causes other matter to be recombinated into new forms), 2) this is an observed process at the quantum level, 3) well seeing as the definition of supernatural is "something which only exists outside reality" that's a non starter, like trying to argue for invisible pink unicorns, 4) is 3) with a slightly different name like the way MaccyD's relabelled their famous salmonella burgers as Big Macs. Doesn't change a thing.
So your attempt to shoehorn a gotcha! moment into a forum dedicated to educated and informed thinking not only fails but makes you look like an idiot into the bargain. You must be proud.
