Nope - I do not have to accept magic as the answer.
If all of the mass-energy of the universe is added up, the total is 0. That's right - zip, nada, zilch. That is because the gravitational energy is negative and balances the positive energy of matter and radiation.
If that is the case, then not one thing was 'created out of nothing' in the way that you mean. As has been pointed out, particle pairs pop in and out of existence all the time. That is not creating anything because they precisely offset each other. And there is no net loss when they annihilate.
As Krauss and others point out, 'nothing' is unstable.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
