There's no 'definite' answer to the question, but there are certaintily scientific hypothesis that hold more weight than others. I just started reading A Universe from Nothing by Dr Krauss (thanks, ThePinisir!), but for right now I'll quote Wyrd of Gawd
Quote: The problem is that it's almost impossible to to imagine what true "Nothing" is and what its properties are. That's because we live in a sea of "Something". However, it should be obvious that "Nothing" really exists and that it is the source of Everything. We should know that because the visible building block of the Universe is hydrogen, which evolves from "Nothing". Once "Nothing" creates hydrogen all things become possible. The hydrogen clumps together into giant balls and then ignites in a nuclear reaction to form stars, which create the heavy elements and real material.
We may not have the definite answer, but to assume "God did it!" is the most dishonest answer there is for this question. The truth is these 3 words, that most Christians hate "We Don't Know" and that's fine.
