Isn't that pretty much the current scientific theory?

 

More or less.

Although Einstein's E=mc2 proved that energy has mass and that energy and matter are just different states of the same thing. And quantum mechanics proves that energy can spontaneously burst into existence from literally nothing.

Most of the energy remained as energy, but a small percentage of it it formed matter which makes up the universe. No God required - physics can do everything we see all on its own. :D
