It would be more improbable for things like this not to occur at some place and time. New unheard things are happening all around us even if we don't or can't see it, be it beyond our solar system or beyond our comprehension. The great artist is time and space. The masterpiece is the universe.
I will say that until science tells us where all this potential came from, that it's my belief that it's the result of a Prime Mover.
So assuming that the potential had to start somewhere, why does it have to be God? And why is God immune from having to be created?
If we are going to be consistent with the notion "that something cannot come from nothing", God must have also been created (if God exists). But God's creator would have had to be created also, and so on, into infinity.
But there's another possibility, which is that the universe just always existed (at least some parts of it).
I like that idea.
Or if you're interesting in the first mover idea, maybe some things were just always moving.
