The Lubavitch sect of Orthodox Jews has a very detailed description
of the history of creation, involving very deep (kabbalistic)
concepts of the process through which matter was created from nothingness.
I don't pretend to understand it in the least. It's set out in the
"Tanya", which is available in a bilingual (Hebrew/English) version
from Lubavitch organizations. In particular one of the appendices to
the bilingual version is a description of the creation process, written
by Rabbi J. Immanuel Shochet in language which lay people can (almost)
understand (if one works hard enough at it).
