MODERATORS
Yeah, no matter what there's no possible way to ever know how the universe came into existence. Since there is no time before it existed, nothing we can figure out really matters. It just exists for some reason.
That said, the creator solution doesn't make sense to me. Its supposed to solve the question of how something came from nothing, but it doesn't. It just pushes it back further. The existence of the creator must now be explained. Where did they come from? It seems much simpler that the universe popped into existence from nothing rather than an intelligence popped into existence from nothing, then decides to create the universe.
