Where did original matter come from?
AKA_Monet posited that scientists are really not concerned with this area of study - instead they are most interested in what is occurring at the time of their research.
Regardless of the origin of the universe, we now have scientific principles by which to understand our world.

No, let me clarify myself on the "origin of matter"...
I think most hardcore physicists are interested in forming new matter--or anti-matter for that matter... (HaHa--play on words)
But I think we all agree there blocks that were built upon building blocks to form so on and so forth...
I think where you and others differ is who is the "Initiator" of this process...
For me, can I say within certainty it was a higher power as a scientist, not really...
For me, can I say within my heart it was a higher power as a spiritual being, probably so...
But that's just me...
Astronomers measure how "far" and the "density" of an object based on several parameters: such a light years away, spectra, gravitational pull--that can be measured, but I don't know how, sounds, electromagnetic resonance imaging and other things that go waaay over my head--interesting to me, but still go over my head...
So that's how they come up with their Big Bang Theory, String Theory, Charmed Quarks, etc. They are one looney bunch of nerdy geeks that are very sweet folks and party way too much to pass the days. But it hey, it works for them...
I only know because I was a wannabe math, physics, engineering major in college, but I passed with an A+ in Molecular Biology...
Also, Darwin may have had his "Origins..." but we neglect our little priest
(now that's funny in this discussion), Gregor Mendel who developed Mendalian Genetics with his pea pods flowers where we get Aa X AA and heterozygous dominant and homozygous dominant--and all the recessive stuff at a ratio of 9:3:3:1...
It is the manipulation he never fathomed... But it was his concepts that brought us functional genomics as we know it today...
