If you press someone on the point of everything from nothing, they usually respond with something about how the big bang doesn't account for the creation of matter. The big bang only explains the distribution of matter.
This is a lame cop out. The beginning of matter must be explained or you don't even have a hypothesis.
Again this is not ignorance concerning the property of matter, it is the understanding of conservation.
