The universe was never created and it didn't spontaneously come into being, it has ALWAYS existed in one form or another. The universe and everything in it is made of energy, which can neither be created, nor destroyed, it simply exists in a perpetual state of flux, forever changing form throughout eternity.
People often ****** the universe had a start point and that it will have an *** point, because we're born, we live and we die, so we ****** the universe is like us. I don't agree with that and think it's a hugely flawed perspective, caused by our limited ability to understood the way the universe works. Everything that you are made of existed long before you were born and will exist long after you're dead.
