Physics is Phascinating. And Google can help you find answers.
Yes. But I have a digestive tract. How did a void become energized? Unless there is something else to interact with it. Like God.

Many ways, but I am just a novice. Two that come to mind are temperature and pressure. There are thousands of examples of converting mass to energy. The a bomb is great example. Atomic fision. Atomic fusion is the other side of the Atomic coin.
I read something the other day about a couple of physicists at Planck that have figured a way to make mass from energy in a lab setting.
Now, when you say "void", I think that you mean a total lack of anything, mass or energy, or even God.
The "void" of space, as we know it, is actually full of mass and energy. Photons, cosmic rays and vibrations, mater and antimatter, etc... As for God, he/she/they/it, is either mass and/or energy.

god being the answer to all questions with no ready answer , I will wait for a reasonable answer from a theoretical physicist, ie what was there before the big bang ?

I cannot think of any reasonable answer for what was there before the Big Bang. There was nothing.

I'm not a physicist, but I Ave a theory. Sounds like sci-fi, but here it goes.
A life form, one among unknowable numbers, deposits a glutinous mass of eggs in a cave. The vibration, heat and pressure create a viable egg. The egg is injected/fertilized with material causing an explosive dispersal of material and energy throughout the egg and it begins to grow. Eventually when the egg reaches a critical point it devides (the big bang) and a new cell begins its cycle.
Meanwhile, sub-microscopic material in the new egg cell existence eventually reaches a stage of self awareness, like all the egg cells of all the eggs in the gelatinous mass. These tiny entities call themselves humans. They create the tech to see to the edge of their cell, which they call " the universe", and beyond, into another "universe", then another. All the time, not yet realizing their "universe" is only one cell of one growing entity among an uncountable numbers of growing entities.
Ever expanding. Ever contracting. Without a knowable beginning or ending. Good sci-fi? Thought provoking?
That is what I think. Only God's in this world are the ones we create (imagine).

Where do you think it came from?
Chemistry and energy in the beginning. And, it slowly evolved into "life" as we know it. "Life" is is just another form of existence, created from the same "star stuff" as everything else.

Pretty clear where I think life came from-- God. Now which "God" is another matter. The God of the Israelites, Mohammed, Jesus, and thousands of other civilizations around the world. Maybe they are all faces as people see them at the time and place of God? It is mystery that awaits us all.

And God, as I have been told, works in mysterious ways.
And when I look at the world and the universe today, His ways are definitely a mystery to me. And I wonder.

Life exist , as to god that is a mater of faith in the concept of such a being . Life a natural spontaneous process when the right components come together in the right circumstances.
