I see. Well, people are always asking where God came from, so now I'm asking... where did this energy come from? Did it just blink into existence?

 

Being that I'm not a quantum physicist I can't answer that, but it would seem that that's pretty much exactly what happened at some point. Possibly not energy per se, but rather energy in the form of subatomic particles.

Now I suspect you're not particularly interested in learning about that, considering how you phrased your question, but if you are there are loads and loads of sites on the internet dealing with it, including loads of videos of lectures by physicists discussing it all. Here's a good place to start though: CERN.

Physics seeks to answer these hard questions and corrects itself often, but slowly they've been nailing it down. They have observed energy changing into matter, and matter converts to energy all the time as a natural process. They test all their theories using the latest equipment and have a real good base for most of what they currently believe.

The religious people are satisfied with believing God was just "always". Just forever, no beginning, no end, he just simply exists and always has. No intention of changing that belief either, because the religious texts say that's just the way it is.

I think I prefer the thinking of the scientists, who are genuinely seeking "truth", as opposed to the religious people who really aren't concerned about the truth of creation and our existence, especially when it flies completely in the face of everything they want to believe.
