Oh great, just what i wanted to spend the entire night doing (instead of sleeping) - Determining the origination of existence .
Buddhism does not accept creationism. It explains existence in terms of cause and effect. That would have to be infinite because for every effect there must be a cause. Thus it's compatible with the big bang theory and whatever its causes might have been and with evolution.
Cause and effect also accounts for 'evolution' of consciousness and Buddhist descriptive realms of cyclic existence -
And Dzogchen could be perhaps described (at least for the purpose here) as an intelligent choice of causal application in an evolution of consciousness.Thus the high end yogas. Example: Obtaining, becoming a white light body.
