How can the universe create itself out of nothingness? Doesn't it make sense to assume the existence of a Creation. This statement is tricky because it sneaks in the false assumption that GOD came from somewhere and then asks where that might be. The answer is that the question does not even make sense. It is like asking, “What does blue smell like?” Blue is not in the category of things that have a smell, so the question itself is flawed. In the same way, GOD is not in the category of things that are created or caused. GOD is uncaused and uncreated—He simply exists.
We know that from nothing, nothing comes. So, if there were ever a time when there was absolutely nothing in existence, then nothing would have ever come into existence. But things do exist. Therefore, since there could never have been absolutely nothing, something had to have always been in existence. That ever-existing being is what we call GOD ,GOD is the un-caused Being that caused everything else to come into existence. God is the uncreated Creator who created the universe and everything in it.
The universe requires a cause because it had a beginning, GOD unlike the universe, had no beginning, so he doesn’t need a cause. Einstein’s theory of general relativity, which has much experimental support, shows that time is linked to matter and space. So time itself would have begun along with matter and space. Since GOD is the creator of the whole universe, he is the creator of time. Therefore He is not limited by the Reality, Time dimension He created..

The Big Bang is the creation moment, and aligns well with the biblical view of creation.
There is no such thing as nothing, there never was a period when there was nothing. God is, that is why he is called eternal, God was, is, and will be. Our frame of reference is bound to the universe and its time, since we, along with the universe are finite and temporal.
So the question of 'before God' is meaningless, because God exists in the place of nothing, thus nothing and a beginning for God is not possible. But God is the beginning of all that we know because we belong to the universe which was created by God. All the laws and properties of the universe that we know are about the universe which was created by God, God is not contained or constrained by what God has made. Since beginnings and endings along with time are fundamental parts of our universe we can not escape them, but since God is the maker and is greater than our universe, God is not bound to the same rules.
Cosmologists believe that the Universe, and with it space and time and every thing it contains, appeared and expanded into being some 13.7 billion years ago at the Big Bang, and that it has been expanding ever since. Scientists know that the Universe had a beginning and the laws that govern it will produce an end to the Universe.

It'd make more sense to verify that one exists, before starting to speculate about what made it.
