i have heard answers like god was always here but if you can believe that why is it so hard to believe that the universe was always here? or god made himself which doesn't make sense because if you don't exist you cant make anything especially not yourself.
so seriously give me your best answer

Yeah that always kills me because one of the most common arguments against atheism is that everything must have a creator.

Why is it so hard to believe the Universe was always here? Because that contradicts the first Law of Science, that says that there is no effect without a cause. Let's put it this way: the universe exists and this is a fact. Science tells us that there is no effect without a cause, therefore the universe is a cause of something, it was created from something, it was made, or it is simply "the result". Therefore, there must be something or someone who kicked it to start, right? The only thing that could have started it is something even superior (maybe outside it), bigger, more powerful. Now you look at the planets in the space; look at the Nature flowing with its cycles; look at the animals and their instinct; look at the human beings who think and are capable to love. Do you see intelligence in all these? Do you see purpose in all these? I do. God is the only one behind it all. Maybe you prefer to call Him some other name (Jehovah, power, force, invisible thing), it doesn't matter the name, but there is some intelligent creator behind all that... or not? I think there is. Peace!

I think you misunderstand the basic idea...
Regardless of what your religious beliefs are I think it's reasonable to propose this universe is not all there is.
Consider a child. Before birth, the womb is all there is. Then their mothers arms, then a bassinette, then a crib and a home, then an extended family and their homes, then perhaps a collection of places, then they realize there is a neighborhood or perhaps their town, then they learn about other cites and the state or region, and on to their nation, continent, world, solar system, galaxy...
...and universe.
It stops there?
The nothing the bible speaks of is this world, this solar system, and galaxy. Perhaps this universe, perhaps not.
Regardless, the fundamental understanding the bible seeks to convey is that all we know was created by God.
I am telling you God created all you know. This does not mean you know all their is to know.

God has created the Universe, God is running the Universe. God will destroy the Universe. God is the Origin of Universe. God is the Destination of Universe. Spirit can neither be created nor be destroyed. It moves from one body to another. Your body dies, not spirit. Your spirit gets new body after death, based upon your actions in this life. Your target is to make your spirit pure, so that it can merge in Super Spirit (God). Remember wherever there is Happiness in Life, there will be Sorrow. To get Happiness, you must master Sorrow.

Stop thinking in terms of this God having to have been created. If your question does not make any sense, as you ultimately indicate, then you're not asking a question that leads to an answer that corresponds with reality .

God did create himself, he did create the universe, it has always been here in mortal time frame, it will always be there for as like God, he is ever expanding his creations, which also include the universes...even science has proved this...why the latest discovery of the billion light years of void, found, by I believe the Hubble craft, is proof, for any elementary physics will assert that you can not measure light unless there is something to reflect it back to the source..............so across the billion light years of void...................what is out there?.....Eternity and the ever expansion of God's Thoughts.

The question assumes that God is subject to the same laws and rules that we are. That He is so small and un- awesome that we can fully understand Him with our finite minds. The premise of believers is that God is not like that, that He is bigger and more wonderful than our understanding. I don't think that you can prove either way. In areas like this we believe what we want to be true. Finally:
