Unless you think there was literal magic involved, even god must have "created naturally".
At any rate, what Real Science™ says about the matter, is that if there was anything before, we have no way of figuring out what that may have been from this vantage point and with these instruments we have. We wouldn't even be expected to, if there were - as it was a fairly mighty fucking rearranging of stuff, if that were the case. Everywhere we look all we see is the effects of the bomb going off, not whatever hypothetical and illustrative building may have been stranding in the crater we now observe.
For some people, saying "I don't know" is a problem - for others, it's a matter of basic honesty. I don't think that, even if you accept a literal magical creation,that the next step is a whodunnit - you might be better served with a howdunnit. Especially if you want to compete with scientific explanations for any given x.
