Where the fuck did we come from (not interested in religious answers)? What created matter? If you try to imagine a starting point, no matter how far back you go, if you pinpoint something as the starting point, you're still left thinking "well then, what created that starting point though? Something had to, right?" I cannot wrap my head around this. Both the idea of a starting point OR there being no starting point are equally impossible for me to grasp, and one always leads to the other in a neverending direction.
It's almost easier to think something could not appear from nothing, so nothing exists, but we know this is wrong because we do exist, but then how did the story of matter start?

Empty space just shits things out all the time.

But how the fuck does this stuff just get shit out? It still had to come from something, even if it appears as if it's coming from nothing. But then, where did the stuff that that stuff is coming from come from? And so on.
But anyway, this is not a satisfying answer.

Pondering questions like "Where did the universe come from? Is it infinite?" and whatnot will just make your crazy. You should instead meditate, and when you reach nirvana you'll know all the answers..

This is both an obvious and a very strange position. That there is stuff means that one of the things you find impossible to grasp is in fact true, so maybe the better question is, why are there things that are definitely true that you find hard to believe? In any case, it's probably more plausible that something comes from nothing, because if you want to believe in an infinitely-lived universe, then you get trouble reconciling infinity and change (i.e., the only change would be infinite change).

As I'm not a physicist, I'm sure this answer is entirely wrong, this is just my own half baked musings. Nothingness cannot exist without something to define it. It's possible this is an inherent property of reality. It must reject itself or else become undefined, like dividing by zero.
