No. Science does not teach that. Science has discovered that virtual particle pairs come into existence without a cause. Atomic decay occurs without a cause. There are fairly good reasons to think it is impoossible for nothing at all to exist. For instance, there is only one way for nothing at all to exist, and infinite ways for something to exist, what would be the odds that one out of infinity would be the case?

The singularity that expanded during the Big Bang may have existed forever. Or it may simply be that asking what happened before then (when time began) is like asking what is north of the North Pole.

Excellent not thinking it's proof of God, because that would be an argument from ignorance (if we don't know the answer, your answer must be true). Scientists in cosmology have rather a problem with too many plausibe natural explanations for it, it's a matter of figuring out how to narrow down the possibilities rather than any issues with impossibilities.

I don't think you're lying. Your story could have happened, so no need to question your integrity over it. But you're not actually in a position to know for sure that it's true, are you? You were too young understand and remember everything that happened.
But the reason to lie about something like this would be to get us to believe you about the Jesus thing. That's why you told us the story, right? And maybe why your parents emphasized the part of the story that seemed miraculous to them rather than just telling you the doctors thought your brother would die but he got better. A miracle is something that can't happen without divine intervention. People have remissions from serious illnesses all the time. How do you know your brother wasn't lucky?
