Let us first see what Swami Vivekananda comments on creation.
.
"The Vedas teach us that *creation is without beginning or end.* Science is said to have proved that the sum total of cosmic energy is always the same. Then, *if there was a time when nothing existed, where was all this manifested energy?* Some say it was in a potential form in God. In that case God is sometimes potential and sometimes kinetic, which would make Him mutable. Everything mutable is a compound, and everything compound must undergo that change which is called destruction. So God would die, which is absurd. Therefore *there never was a time when there was no creation.*"
(Complete Works of Vivekananda/Volume 1/Addresses at The Parliament of Religions/PAPER ON HINDUISM)
.
So, we can be able to know from Vivekananda's comment that there was always creation and it is transforming one to another form always. The same thing is mentioned in Bhagabat Gita, Manusmriti and so on.
.
*Now look at the new scientific discovery. We can now know that the Creation was not always, it had a starting, whether you believe in God or not, the universe has come out of nothing which proves that Ancient Indian Philosophy is incorrect.*
.
.
"Many scientists assume that the universe came from nothing, which is an idea that can only be true in light of quantum theory. Ultimately, quantum fluctuations could allow a universe to spontaneously form from nothing. However, without a mathematical proof, the idea that the universe spontaneously popped into existence has no real substance. And therein was the problem. We didn’t have the math to support the “universe from nothing” hypothesis.
.
This is where Dongshan He and his team from the Wuhan Institute of Physics and Mathematics (WIPM) comes in. *They have managed to develop the first mathematical proof* that the big bang could have been the result of quantum fluctuations. *The Wheeler-Dewitt equation and the Heisenberg uncertainty principle are at the heart of this new proof.*...."

.
So, universe has come out of nothing is not in indian philosophy, It is in the Quran.
.
Clearly mentioned in the Quran that Allah the Almighty just gives the command and His commands turn into Creation and the Creation comes out of nothing, it is mentioned in the glorious Quran,
.
Al-Baqarah 2:117
.
بَدِيْعُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِؕ وَاِذَا قَضٰٓى اَمْرًا فَاِنَّمَا يَقُوْلُ لَهٗ كُنْ فَيَكُوْنُ
.
"Originator of the heavens and the earth. When He decrees a matter, He only says to it, "Be," and it is."
.
.
Maryam 19:67
.
اَوَلَا يَذْكُرُ الْاِنْسَانُ اَنَّا خَلَقْنٰهُ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَلَمْ يَكُ شَيْـًٔـا
.
"But does not man call to mind that We created him before out of nothing?"
.
The words of quran has come almost 1500 years ago on Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) when people were in superstition, when people used to bury their female child alive, when people believed that the rain happens for god or goddess, people of arabia did not know about science, even historically, prophet Muhammad could not read, could not write anything, he was ummi or illiterate, then who wrote this new invented scientific theory in the quran which even Vivekananda did not support, but today after scientific research we can know before a few days ago???
.
There is only one answer, it is from the Ultimate Controller of the universe, the Almighty Creator, Who is mentioned in the Quran as the arabic name "Allah", and He has revealed the words on the last and final messenger prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

Note:
Actually, in Hinduism, there is no Ultimate Creator. God according to Hinduism has just transformed his own body and made the creation. So anything has not been created out of nothing. The verses say the same thing that all the creation is just the manifested form of God and so, these are all our illusion because thinking that all things around us is the Creation, is actually our illusion & ignorance. And so, to get away from such ignorance and to realise that we are the part and parcel of God, we need to do some steps like form worship, then formless worship, meditation and so on.
.
We are giving some verses which may point out that Hinduism says, the basic elements of creation were always present but in formless formation which can be taken as the part and parcel of God.
.
"1. THEN was not non-existent nor existent: there was no realm of air, no sky beyond it.
What covered in, and where? and what gave shelter? Was water there, unfathomed depth of water?
2 Death was not then, nor was there aught immortal: no sign was there, the day's and night's divider.
That One Thing, breathless, breathed by its own nature: apart from it was nothing whatsoever.
3 Darkness there was: at first concealed in darkness this All was indiscriminated chaos.
***All that existed*** then was void and ***form less***: by the great power of Warmth was born that Unit."
(Rig Veda, 10:129:1-3)
.
Look here, in verse no 3, we get the point that all things existed before the creation of the universe but in formless mood.
.
We can get the more specified issue from manusmriti.
.
"5. ***This (universe) existed in the shape of Darkness, unperceived, destitute of distinctive marks, unattainable by reasoning, unknowable, wholly immersed, as it were, in deep sleep***.
.
6. Then the divine Self-existent (Svayambhu, himself) indiscernible, (but) making (all) this, the great elements and the rest, discernible, appeared with irresistible (creative) power, dispelling the darkness.
7. He who can be perceived by the internal organ (alone), who is subtile, indiscernible, and eternal, who contains all created beings and is inconceivable, shone forth of his own (will).
.
8. ***He, desiring to produce beings of many kinds from his own body***, first with a thought created the waters, and placed his seed in them."
(Manusmriti, 1:5-8)
.
so we can see clearly here that the God is said as 'Self-existent' meaning God remained always and he has made beings from his own body, so it is just transformation of God's body, not a new creation. And so, Vivekananda comments that creation is without beginning and without end because the creation is not actually creation, it is the manifested form of God. But due to our ignorance, we think it as creation.
.
Bhagabat Gita says the same thing like this way.
.
"All created beings are unmanifest in their beginning, manifest in their interim state, and unmanifest again when they are annihilated. So what need is there for lamentation?"
(Bhagabat Gita, 2:28)
.
Now after scientific research, we can conclude that this ancient theory is incorrect and the universe has a beginning which is found in the semetic theology, in the Quran and in the Bible. Specially, the Quran clearly says that the Almighty has created just by command out of nothing which has been shown in the above article.
