Then suddenly...the universe came to be.

Isn't that the truth of it?

They don't have a clue.

Given our means of understanding, something can't come from nothing, and yet it did.

Given our means of understanding, at least as I understand it, there is no way possible that any of us is here, and yet we are.

It is a miracle and a power and a gift so vast that we ought to quiver and rejoice every moment of every day.

In so-called "empty" space things materialize all the time. They call the objects "virtual particles". They are the basis for the "Vacuume Genesis" (pre-Big Bang) theory I referred to in an earlier post (above).

Virtual Particles: What are they?

The term “virtual particle” is an endlessly confusing and confused subject for the layperson, and even for the non-expert scientist. I have read many books for laypeople (yes, I was a layperson once myself, and I remember, at the age of 16, reading about this stuff) and all of them talk about virtual particles and not one of them has ever made any sense to me. So I am going to try a different approach in explaining it to you.

The best way to approach this concept, I believe, is to forget you ever saw the word “particle” in the term. A virtual particle is not a particle at all. It refers precisely to a disturbance in a field that is not a particle. A particle is a nice, regular ripple in a field, one that can travel smoothly and effortlessly through space, like a clear tone of a bell moving through the air. A “virtual particle”, generally, is a disturbance in a field that will never be found on its own, but instead is something that is caused by the presence of other particles, often of other fields. ...”

Here’s a brief video clip explaining the pre-big bang theory known as Vacuum Genesis.
