Before the origins of the universe were rationally questioned, the Jews claimed that an immaterial, omnipotent, immutable being that was not hindered by time or space had brought the universe into being.
Step by step. Like a mystery detective.
Time, the expansion of the universe, was made possible by whatever caused the universe. The cause of the universe cannot be limited by time.
The cause of the universe also made space to exist. The cause of our universe cannot be limited by space.
How am I doing?
You are equating the universe with all of existence.
The universe had a cause, which we called the big bang. What brought rise to the conditions that led to the big bang and whether a "cause" was necessary is unknown. Cause and effect is reliant upon time, which did not exist at that point.
