Early Universe
The study of cosmology at the time very soon after the big bang. (261).
The Big Bang Theory
The theory suggests that the universe originated as a minute but as a very hot body and that the temperature has been falling as the universe continues to expand. (86-87).

'Matter has many definitions, but the most common is that it is any substance which has mass and occupies space. All physical objects are composed of matter, in the form of atoms, which are in turn composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons.'

'There are many possible definitions for matter. In science, matter is the term for any type of material. Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. At a minimum, matter requires at least one subatomic particle, although most matter consists of atoms. The word "matter" is sometimes used to refer to a pure substance.'
Energy is a system's ability to do work. (289).
According to modern science, the universe is finite. This is indicated even when/if science will not use the term 'finite'. According to my Reformed, biblical theology and philosophy of religion view, God is infinite. This is not an original view of mine, this is historical New Testament theology.
Therefore, the universe should not be acknowledged as the primary source of existence; God/the first cause should be acknowledged as the primary source of existence.
