I am not religious at all but I think about this a lot. If a bunch of particles slammed together and created the big bang, well, where did those particles come from? Nothing makes sense.
The thing is that it doesn't have to make sense.
Specially for a primitive brain like ours.
We basically only "get" Newtonian physics (throwing rocks), but Einstein's relativity theory doesn't make sense to us, we simply have to follow the math and see that it is accurately describing what happens.
Nature is not intuitive to us, it doesn't make sense other than the things we evolved to make sense.

Nothing. Makes sense.
