According to our best understanding of the Big Bang, matter and antimatter particles should’ve been created in equal measure during those first moments of existence.
But when these two particles interact, they annihilate each other, leaving behind only energy. Fast forward 13.8 billion years and almost everything is made up of matter—you, me, the screen you’re reading this on, the air you’re breathing, the planet, the Milky Way, ad infinitum.
Q: So... what gives?"
A: Thus saith God the LORD, Q: So... what gives?"

He that created the heavens,
and stretched them out;
He that spread forth the earth,
and that which cometh out of it;
He that giveth breath unto the people upon it,
and spirit to them that walk therein:
Isaiah 42:5
