Big Bang

13.8 Billions of years ago our universe started with the Big Bang. Question: energy and matter that created Big Bang was always there/eternal or it just Magically popped in to existence?

Well, the super-condensed singularity that expanded was probably made of something, so I think that the matter/energy for this universe predates the Big Bang (inasmuch as one can say that there was a "before," as time is also linked to space.
Perhaps the basic "stuff" of this and other universes was a runaway quantum fluctuation that flipped "zero" bits of potential-but-not-existing-stuff to "one" (existing) bits.

Neither.
We are probably one of infinite universes that pop into existence by borrowing energy from a neigbouring universe/brane.
I'm sure it sounds weird and illogical but if we were to see from the outside, it may make sense. Then again, how far can an ape brain expand?
We may be asking a little too much to expect to know or unravel the universes deepest mysteries. We may never know.

Our local universe started 13.8bya; beyond that their are various hypotheses but the jury is still out.
