There will always be the issue that you're just moving the problem. The essential problem is that intuitively the most sensible situation would be that nothing existed.
We tend to think in terms of causality, everything should be caused by something. But this something should also be caused by something else, so if you keep on going like this I can think of two possible solutions:
- There's a certain something that exists without a cause but that has consequences. (God, or creation of the universe itself)
- There's a circular line of causes, so the first thing is caused by the last. Something like that our universe was created by the previous universe collapsing. (Which happens to be our own universe at a later point in time.)
Actually both concepts are the same for me, because the existence of circular time (as suggested by the second solution) is something that has no cause but has consequences. Sometimes there is no easy explanation... Well not for me.
