Do you believe; and why?

Not that it contributes anything substantial, but mass can be "destroyed". The sun does it, emitting energy in the process. It also can be created out of energy.

There are theories the universe is merely a quantum fluctuation created out of nothing, much like positrons and electrons can be created out of "nothing". This probably isn't true - but the fact that we can't quite grasp the beginning of the universe to me doesn't necessarily mean it was a god creating it. This just shifts the problem to "...and if it was a god, how was god created?"
