It doesn’t answer where it all came from. Whatever theory or religion you choose, there’s no answer to this question apart from it suddenly appeared which implies something can be created out of nothing and that creates a whole lot of new questions and possibilities.

All that there is came from the One Great. Then came fractures, and births, and souls. But the Greater Will made a mistake.

the network of causality is like a big river, and if you follow individual lines, they either lead in circles or they stretch infinitely into the past and future or they spring out somewhere spontaneously
only in the third case is there a “spontaneous creation”

note that we’re all circling the sun but still not getting closer an inch per year
