Very intelligent observation. Everything must be created by someone. The Supreme Person is God. He is the source of Everything. He made this World. A watch maker made the watch and God made the elements that made the watch. The Srimad Bhagavatam translated by Bhaktivedanta Prabhupada, tells in great detail how the creation happen how the universes are being maintained and how they will be annihilated. These Vedas are the original "How to" books that came from God at the time of creation. They give one great faith and Transcendental wisdom beyond compare as far as the depth and accuracy. for info go to srimadbhagavatam.org/... Totally enlightening. The energy always comes from the energetic. (God is the original source of all energies)

Most people who think come across this question eventually. When we seriously ponder beginnings and ends and follow our thoughts as far as we can, we usually find that everything we see in our world has an apparent beginning and end, but actually began as something that came from something else and when it "ends" it actually just changes form and becomes another thing. This sets up a chain of causes and effects whose ultimate ends no living mind can really know. The universe might very well HAVE a beginning and an end, but are we being at all reasonable in assuming that we can KNOW these?
You can come up with many answers to this question. Some of those answers might be supported by some credible-sounding evidence. Not a single one of the answers that a human mind is capable of can be proven at all.
My advice is that you know what is knowable and even though you may never cease to wonder about what you cannot know, don't use the unknowable as a basis for your views on life. This approach can save you a lot of grief. You can still believe in love for the sake of love and let the origin of the universe be the unknowable thing it is.

It didn't "come" from anywhere. That notion is called "ex nihilo," meaning something from nothing.
It is necessary that existence exists, simply by definition. It cannot NOT exist. It must go infinitely forward and backward, meaning it could not ever have been created and came from no where. It IS the substance of itself and would exist even if we were not here to question it.

Sorry, bro, but either God/gods made the world while they are uncreated or the universe itself popped into existence out of nothing. God or the Universe.

I don't know and there is no-one around, Yet. Who can give a Realistic or Categorical answer.
Only speculation, which can be a slight, miscalculation escalated by many who have not done proper research, or.
The speculation of many, on illegitimate and unsubstantiated evidence.

My idea is that, before the theoretical Big Bang, everything was energy (a unknown form of energy). Then the energy changed turning into heat which turned some of the energy to matter. (E=MC^2)
Something can seem to come from nothing if nothing is an unknown something.

if you believe in god then "god created the universe" but there is not answer to this question cause no one know....if you believe in the big bang theory then something had to be there before the universe to explode.....so the universe always existed.

Energy cannot come from nothing and it can never go away.
The universe in some form has always existed.
