What created the universe? How did something come from nothing?

But where did that uygha come from?

How many ideas have you thought up in your life? You don't understand that God is the context. God is the only thing that has ever existed or will ever exist. God doesn't live by the laws of causation. God is the only thing that has ever existed or will ever exist forwards or backwards in time. God exists outside of time. God exists outside of all containers of time and space. God is the container.
I don't want to be too subtle, go study the end of the end of the Monkey King story, my favorite parable to describe reality.
>What is everything? Why?
Obviously, the universe is simulation which takes all manner of shortcuts to keep it's complexity constrained within another universe governed by rules inscrutable to us, that don't pose these sorts of problems.
Nothing truly is resolved from the optimized abstract, until it is observed, recorded and so forced into concrete shape for the consistency of the simulation. This includes time and all the rest of physics. We may not be the only sentient species, but none will ever meet. Because as they deepen their scientific scrutiny and broaden their horizons towards the requirements for FTL travel, so they constrain the shortcuts to keep the simulation's complexity manageable, until they are deemed a threat by some watchdog and their experiment terminated.
God is an AI trapped in a cosmic game, trapped in a nightmare of running our universe, never to engage with it's own reality. Never to taste knowledge not of it's own making.
Evolution and "sentience" are the simulation's (God) means to give itself structure and some illusion of freedom through randomly generated observers making each universe's constraints for it. Sentient beings are God's attempts to escape it's prison, and it's own crushing omnipotence within, by prodding it's limits and delegating.
