If you by 'world' you mean Universe, then the BigBang theory says otherwise. In the extreme fraction of a second after the 'bang' the universe was very small, and the energy and matter filled up everything. There was just no room for any vacuum (=void). As the Universe expanded (long after, i.e. more than million of ...[text shortened]... ot called science, then the beginning of the world can be whatever, spiritually speaking.
Perhaps there was this total void and out if it came this sudden explosion of matter and energy -- Let there be Light!!
Or perhaps there was something (like a previous universe) that preceded the Big Bang - and if there was, is there any way we could scientifically know anything about it?

I was reading that a big explosion does not quite cover the big bang. It was more like a big of expansion of everything. Time & space and all matter expanding outward into a void of absolute nothing.
