I guess you crackheads never read the first law of thermodynamics.
Neither energy nor matter can come from nothing. They can, however, come from one another. Matter can be used to create energy, energy can be used to create matter. Einstein had some thoughts on this. Put down the gameboy and do a bit of reading. I will wait. < humming jeopardy theme hmmm hmmm hmm hm hmmm hmm hm hmmm hmm hmm hm hmmmmmmmm hmmm hmmm hm hm>
Okay, back with us?
We live in a universe of matter, which could only have come from a universe of energy. The universe of energy cannot have come from 'nothing', so it had to always exist. I know, I know, some crackhead is going to say "noo, it could have come from a universe of matter". Okay, so take your pick. You have to start with one or the other. You cannot start with nothing.
Something caused the universe of matter to be created from the universe of energy. I call that something the First Cause. I have no idea what it is. But, it is not the god of war (Jehovah) of the Bible.
