did it happen "once"?

We don't know if there was anything before the big bang, so it's quite wrong to assume the universe came from nothing. Aside from that, I have no knowledge of any instance where something came from nothing.

That completely depends on what you mean by nothing. If you don't carefully specify that, the question is meaningless.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

A clear sky, then clouds form. They came from nothing and how you have hail damage on your property. Total mystery, at least to Stone Age folks.

Scientists take defensive position on that question and simply say "we don't know yet", which they say a lot, when people ask such Grand questions.

Define 'how', 'can', 'something', 'come', 'from', 'nothing' and '?'.
