But there's the fundamental different between religion and science: Science is trying to answer these questions, while religion claims they are already answered through transcendental means. The fact that science hasn't answered these questions yet doesn't mean it won't... Be it technological, financial or some other difficulty, something always stands in the way of scientific advancement.
If anyone were so inclined, they could research the Membrane Theory hypothesis, a subset of the String Theory hypothesis, which proposes a means for the creation of the universe, and the creation of matter and such. As mentioned, research into these hypotheses is difficult because they are untestable using our current technology, and nothing short of a galaxy-sized particle collider could help start to test them. And even then, Membrane theory also has its own paradoxes. The answer to this question is still way out of reach.
All of this is regardless, though, because we're discussing evolution, not elementary physics.
