As far as we can see, the universe seems to follow physical laws, and so even the creation of the Big Bang should be describable in such terms. But it’s possible that from our vantage point inside space-time we don’t have access to the information necessary to learn what came before it. Such a cataclysmic event might have destroyed any information about what happened before, leaving no evidence for us to discover. That is very unsatisfying, but there is no rule that all of science’s answers will make us feel good.
