To answer your question, let's go back even further. In the beginning, there was nothing. Just empty space. But you need something to make something, so where did everything come from if there was nothing to begin with?
A chicken can lay an egg, but an egg can hatch a chicken.
Picking up on the empty space reply. It was once thought the earth was the centre of the universe, then our sun, then our galaxy. Yet since the universe has no central point and the HST (Hubble Space Telescope) has confirmed the universe is expanding.....what is it expanding into?
Best wishes.

I think that, as we develop more technically advanced instrumentation, we'll find that the earth really is the center of the universe, and that it is flat.
Don't get too close to the edge.
