First, check out this video about the big bang. This is the theory scientists have developed about how the universe came to be.
Read this article about the big bang. (Make sure to read all 3 pages!) If it helps, watch the video again.

A lot of times when we say the word theory in conversation, that means a guess. However, the word theory means something a little bit different in science. In science, a theory means an explanation of something based on the data. It is not a guess; it's an explanation based on the data, or evidence, available at the time. Theories can change when more or different data is found, but it is not "just a guess".
Confused? Check out the videos for more information.
The Big Bang theory is an explanation of how the universe came to be. Plate Tectonic theory is a theory explaining why we have earthquakes and volcanoes (remember our geology lesson from week 1?) Try some GED practice questions about scientific theories.
