Contrary to popular belief, matter CAN be created out of nothing. Space's "false vacuum" does it all the time. Maybe it creates only small things (mostly electron-positron pairs) but the probability that it creates something like our universe is NOT zero.
It is an extremely small number (and I mean small); but then, you only need one...

What's easier to believe, an eternal universe without initial causation or a Creator God who is transcendent and omnipotent? Since gravity is the fabric of the space-time continuum, the universe has a distinct point of origin. An infinite gravitational singularity that appeared about 13 billion years ago. It is a validated fact that time and matter began then. Some do not except this truth and postulate elegant mathematical equations to describe an eternal universe without a cause. Many would rather believe the universe is a natural construct that has always existed, then to believe in an eternal everlasting God.

you can argue the same exact thing about where God came from!
He made it, but what made Him?
The best thing to do is not think about it
EDIT: you can't find ALL the knowledge in the world in the Bible. Even though it is insanely large, BIBLE stands for Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth. He did not intend for us to know everything, but our human nature makes us greedy for knowledge, however. The Bible is like a giant metaphor. It's like having a not-so-explanitory teacher in school who tells you everything you know to pass the class, but never tells you the proven reasons behind the information they are giving you. There is enough information to know all the facts, but not any to know the details BEHIND the facts, the reasons why. Maybe we just don't need to know. Get what I'm saying? I could be entirely wrong, but it's one of my "theories" haha

Im not saying this as taking a side to there being God or not. But with many things, things are already there and humans just give them a name. With this subject, the things arent nescacarily there but we just identify them as something.
Matter is simply whats there. right? well God or no God the stuff is there. and energy, well that is all the forces of everything.
I realize that your intent on this question was probably much deeper than this but I'm just awnsering the part stated.

no one really knows what God is. We were raised to believe it is a 'he' and that everything was made in a week by him. When 'he' was imagined, no one knew the solar system existed, What the stars were, about galaxies, and that the world was round. They didn't know about the past history of the world and about million year old dinosaurs, or DNA. All they had at that time was why was it and their imagination to try to explain it. Personally I do believe a designer has had a hand in a lot of things. And just maybe 'IT', 'HE', 'SHE', was just an opportunist in the evolution of mankind and help bring us to the point we are today. Who knows? But I really don't believe the one in the Bible. Why can't there be something behind all of this that makes better sense? I like to see things fit! Round peg in round hole, Square peg in square hole etc. And the Bible doesn't come near to doing that.

I could ask, if there is no Brahma, then where did matter and energy come from?
Or Ahura Mazda, or Zeus, or whatever god you care to name.

From the collapse of a previous universe.
Or look at it another way - if god didn't need a creator, why did the universe?
