After all why? What was here before there was this universe. I have heard that there was an explosion and since than universe started to expand and it is still expanding! So if the universe wasn't here what would be here.
I know what I am trying to ask is not clear but think about it, you might have the same question.

The questions that you are asking have not been answered yet, and are best answered through years of scientific study and research. In fact, even after all that hard work, you'll probably still not have an answer. The best you can hope for is that the next generation of scientists will find an answer, and that your hard work somehow contributed to its discovery.
I know that's not a neat and tidy answer to your question, but it's the truth.
Well...either that or you can believe that it's all answered in one single book.
Faith is the path of least resistance.

Really, no human knows what was here before the universe unless they are answering the question in religious terms. In scientific physical terms we don't know.
Scientists have a good working model that goes back to less than a second after the universe begins (10 million trillion trillion trillionths of a second to be exact), but before this point conditions are so strange to us that no one has really worked them out all the way.
And to go back to the moment of the big bang is to go back before time or space. How can we imagine THAT?
Still there are guesses at what might have been before our universe. My own favorite (just because it sounds neat) is called the oscillating universe. http://www.randomhouse.com/features/billbryson/bb_title/display.pperl?isbn=9780767908184&view=excerpt mentions some other guesses.
First, I'll give the background story behind the oscillating idea:
As you mentioned it looks like there was once a big explosion, because the parts of the universe are still traveling away from each other and away from the center. If there isn't all that much stuff in the universe the universe could keep expanding forever. However if there is more than a certain amount of stuff in the universe, the gravity of the universe will eventually stop the expansion and cause it to start shrinking again.
As it shrinks and gets all forced back together, the resulting implosion (opposite of an explosion) is something scientists call the Big Crunch.
This leads to the neat possibility of a Big Crunch that becomes an explosion and starts a new universe, that collapses in a crunch, that explodes in a new universe....and so on in an endless cycle. If this is true then what came before our universe was another universe. There's no proof for this idea though so it's pretty speculative.
Also, astromomers and cosmologists are trying to decide how much stuff is in the universe. (They'd use the word "matter.") So it's not clear that there is enough matter to even cause a Big Crunch at all.

Your question is very clear to me. The universe exist because God made it and everything in it. The answer is found in "Genesis", the 1st book of the Bible..."In the beginning was God". Read it for yourself. There are all the answers to all questions in it.
P.S. Oh, about the explosion and expanding thing. Yes, I have heard this also. We should not worry. The universe is God's and He is and will always be in control of it. He made it, and I trust Him with it.

I think that this is a question of philosophy. That is, would the universe exist if we weren't around to perceive it?
I would speculate that the universe has always been around. The Big Bang might be the beginnings of the universe AS WE KNOW IT, but it probably had an alternative form before that.

hm
ok this is a easy one,
our universe is witch started with the big bang, is a part of the multivers, witch contains probably a infinity of other universes,
our own was created by chance, or on purpose by somebody,
ours is made of 11 dimensional strings, witch make up all other universe's also, hm what El's?

What you think of as the universe is matter. What is in between the earth and the moon? A vacuum ... . nothingness, the same thing we think of as the vacuum of space would be what would be here if the universe was not here.

This universe, as far as we know, always had some amount of matter. Matter cannot stand a void, and fills it. But I have always wondered what is beyond the edge of the universe--true nothingness is very difficult to comprehend.

Time and Space are conceptual. Even this world is imaginary.
Please read the following book.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0791413640/qid=1152304319/sr=2-1/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_1/103-1016054-7543827?s=books&v=glance&n=283155
Read that ancient scripture. It talks everything about blackholes, time travel, particle-wave theory, aliens, consciousness, mind, matter, energy, creation, Relativity, cosmic dissolution, unified theory, psychology, bondage, liberation, salvation, god, magic, powers, flying, walking through walls etc.
Everyone should read it atleast once in their lifetime.
It will liberate you for sure!
I guarantee it will change your life. Those who don't read it or cannot access it and follow it are really unlucky. Salutations to them. Those who can read it and follow it are great. Salutations to them.

The theory you are thinking of is called the Big Bang. The universe exists because of us, it exists for God, it exists so we can have a place to learn and grow.

It exists so that God can express Himself. "The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth his handiwork. Ps. 19:1.
And again: And one (seraphim) cried unto another, and said. Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. Isaiah 6.3.
