The answer to “Where did everything come from?” when boiled down, only has two possible answers. 1. Matter has eternally existed and can create (has creative properties). 2. God has eternally existed and has created. Why something eternal? Because the challenge of “infinite regress” demands it. The answer to the question, “Where did that come from?” always results in some sort of answer involving “From this/that.” However, one cannot simply keep asking, “Where did that come from?” and receiving an answer involving “from that” forever.
